About Obj01 Stolna svjetiljka
Obj01 je stolna svjetiljka izrađena od jednog lima sirovog metala, koji može biti čelik, nehrđajući čelik ili mjed. Lim se reže laserom i sastavlja ručno gumenim čekićem, bez zavarenih spojeva. Svjetiljku oblikuju jednostavni geometrijski oblici: pravokutnik, krug i cilindar u kojem se nalazi LED izvor svjetlosti. Krug, jednom izrezan, postaje sjenilo. Metalna površina ručno je polirana i zaštićena voskom. Integrirani dodirni prigušivač koristi vodljivo tijelo svjetiljke, pa se dodirom bilo koje strane svjetlo uključuje i podešava svjetlina. Dimenzije svjetiljke su 38 x 22 x 7 cm.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- OBJ-01 is an understandable simple gesture. At a glance, it reveals its material, its manufacturing process, its function and its use. A plate of raw metal cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer. Its size responds to the modulation and format of the material in its commercial standards. Pure geometric figures build the lighting fixture; a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder at the back which contains the LED light spot. The circle, when cut out, adopts the function of a screen.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Dimensions: 38 x 22 x 7 cm
Materials: Steel, Stainless steel or Brass + LED light + custom electronics. - Production Technology
- OBJ-01 is made out of sheet of raw metal, that can be steel, stainless steel or brass, cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer and no welding joinery. Its size responds to the modulation and format of the material in its commercial standards. It is polished by hand and sealed with wax.
- Design Challenge
- As a product designed and produced during 2020, the biggest challenge was to do everything from home. I am used to working with my hands and visiting many workshops. In this case I had to work with processes and materials I already knew because experimenting became impossible. Eventually I bought some machines to be able to bring the production to my home and to be able to control the quality by myself.
- Research
- On this occasion, there was practically no research, the design process was an exercise of intuition. I decided to reuse the cardboard from online purchases I made during the pandemic and use it as material for mockups. I started working with this cardboard and a knife cutter making different cuts and folds to the cardboard to transform a 2D sheet into a 3D object with different uses. My intention from the beginning was to achieve a small object that I could send flat packed all over the world, so starting the process from a flat sheet was important.
- Inspiration
- In my day to day life I visit many workshops. In this occasion, as I could not go out to be inspired due to the pandemic, the challenge was to face a blank sheet of paper. I started with complex designs that I gradually discarded due to the impossibility of going to the production workshops. I ended up stripping away the complexity of the design and keeping the essentials. I decided to work just with one material and one industrial process which I was familiar with; metal and laser cutting.
- Project Duration
- I designed the first OBJ-01 prototype during the pandemic in Mexico City in 2020 and I have been producing new pieces since then.
- Operation Flow
- OBJ-01 has an integrated custom touch dimmer. As metal is conductive, this system takes advantage of its properties, so when you touch the lamp in any side it turns on/off. The user can also control the LED brightness by tapping the lamp several times. This makes makes for me the object to look more sculptural as you don't need a black metal box with a dimmer close to the lamp to be able to turn it on, it's just the lamp over your sideboard.
