About Magic Lanp Tab

Magic se yon lanp tab ki enspire de fòm natirèl djondjon Liberty Cap la. Abajou a fèt ak enprimant 3D ki soti nan plastik ki baze sou plant, epi limyè k ap pase nan abajou a mete an valè liy konsantrik ki tòde an espiral ke pwosesis enprimant lan kite. Anba tèt la gen bagay tankou branch djondjon ki fèt tou ak enprimant 3D. Tij la ak baz la fèt alamen ak bwa di ki soti nan zòn nan, kidonk chak pyès inik. Ou ka chwazi twa nivo klète ak yon gradyatè ki sansib nan manyen ki kache nan baz la. Lanp lan mezire 150 pa 150 pa 650 milimèt.

Production Technology: The lamp is produced in small workshop, using Ender 3 pro V2 3D printers and woodworking machinery; bandsaw, table saw, planer, and sanders. Fusion 360 design software is used to design the 3D printed parts. The wooden part is hand carved and comprises of three original pieces joined together.
Design Challenge: Carving the wood to create a thin stem and # dimensional curve without cutting into the cable within.
Research: After picking this mushroom in the fields of South Bohemia, the designer experienced its 'magical' psychedelic effects. The mushrooms appeared to him to glow and pulsate with a kind of 'life force'. He decided to capture this experience by using its form as a lamp design, the electricity and light bringing it to life. To create this the designer aimed to innovatively combine 3D printing technology with the hand crafted wooden form so the entire piece could be produced in house, with ecological materials. Research and experimentation were carried out in his workshop and with design software.
Inspiration: The natural form of the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata) a potent psychedelic mushroom inspired this design. Scientists have been recently discovering the powerful healing potential of this mushroom, and they are increasingly being used therapeutically around the world. As it's significance to our human experience becomes ever more understood, the form of this mushroom becomes more recognizable, carries more meaning, and deserves attention.
Project Duration: The design work began in early 2020 in Ceske Budejovice, Czechia, and completed at the end of 2020. It has been on sale at Etsy since January 2021.
Operation Flow: The Magic Lamp has a three stage dimmer switch operated by touching any part of the metal base.
