About Mondrian 조명

서스펜션 램프 몬드리안은 색상, 볼륨 및 모양을 통해 감정에 도달합니다. 이름에서 영감을 얻은 화가 몬드리안. 유색 아크릴을 여러 겹으로 쌓아 수평축에 직사각형 모양의 서스펜션 램프입니다. 램프는 이 구성에 사용된 6가지 색상의 상호 작용과 조화를 활용하여 4가지 다른 뷰를 가지고 있으며 흰색 선과 노란색 레이어로 형태가 중단됩니다. 몬드리안은 위아래로 빛을 방출하여 디밍이 가능한 무선 리모컨으로 조절되는 확산되고 비침습적인 조명을 만듭니다.

Production Technology
In the creative and production process I began with hand sketches to get a better understanding of the piece. After that the 3D process started as well as the study of all the technical aspects in terms of lighting features and materials, then together with the manufacturer I started to build the first prototype. The lamp is made in several coloured acrylic, with stainless steel cables for its suspension. Mondrian has light both upwards and downwards creating diffused, non-invasive lighting.
Design Challenge
The main creative challenge for this lamp was definitely to achieve the balance of colors in order to create a piece with a reduction of forms and pure lines, where the shapes, lines and colors were able to coexist in pure balance and reenforce their harmony.
Research
This lamp came from an idea hidden for a long time in my subconscious. When I translated it on paper, I wanted it not only to be a source of light, but also enable it to transmit something more, express emotions through colors, volumes, and shapes. Due to my painting and artistic studies background I got the inspiration mainly on colors and Art. My research was based on the influence of colors towards the human beings, their use on different cultures and how the art movements got shaped and represented by color. I was inspired by Mondrian, and the movement of Neo-plasticism.
Inspiration
This lamp came from an idea hidden for a long time in my subconscious. When I translated it on paper, I wanted it not only to be a source of light, but also enable it to transmit something more. Mondrian lamp combines the concept of modernity with the specific aesthetics of the 20th century. The name leads us to its inspiration, the painter Mondrian, and the movement of Neo-plasticism, with the search for clean elements, reduction of forms and pure lines.
Project Duration
The project began in February 2019 with research and inspiration. This was followed by designs, sketches and the first prototype. The adjustments and the production of the first piece was finished in December 2019.
Operation Flow
The Mondrian, suspension lamp can be easily adapted in height trough the stainless-steel cables, accordingly to the needs of the user and the space chosen to its installation. It supports, as well, a wireless remote control to adjust the intensity of the desired light. The lamp brings an imminent colorful element to the space and a dynamic flow with its different four views and colors.
