About Spike Lanp

Lanp Spike jwe ak diferansye ... Li reflete kilti Punk, men kalme atitid Scandinavian. Li se yon moso volumineuz, men se limyè a cho konsantre nan yon ti zòn pwenti anba moso la. Lanp lan Spike gen yon aparans agresif paske nan Spikes yo metal montre nan direksyon visualiseur la. An menm tan an gen yon bagay kalm sou Harmony nan sifas la seramik ak limyè cho. Lanp lan kreye tansyon nan yon enteryè. Tankou yon moun ki sòti nan yon subculture.

Inspiration: The Spike lamp is inspired by social distancing and fashion subcultures. The core of the design is also mimicing the contrariety of nature, how simplicity becomes complexity.

The main materials used in the Spike lamp are mold made ceramic sphere and metal spikes. Both materials have shiny surface that reflect the environment of the object. The interior of the lamp is contrasting to the outer area, because it has a warm and smooth texture.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 in Helsinki and finished in May 2020.
