About Shining Glass 테이블 램프

테이블 램프는 면 처리된 잔을 그대로 그대로 전등갓으로 사용하도록 설계되었습니다. 전등갓 홀더는 내부와 외부 사이에 유리 바닥을 단단히 고정하는 지그에 연결된 독특한 반원형 암 구조를 가지고 있습니다. 홀더와 베이스는 매끄러운 면 처리된 유리로 만들어졌습니다. 그리고 그것의 윤곽은 가벼운 고리가 있는 받침대에 의해 바닥에서 투영됩니다. 마음에 드는 패싯 드링킹 글래스를 램프의 일부로 사용할 수 있으며, 조화로운 일체감의 구조로 구현되어 일상을 풍요롭게 하는 조명 효과를 연출합니다.

Production Technology: Both the lamp base and the arm of lampshade holder are seamlessly made of faceted glass. The jig for holding the faceted glass and the adjustment of the lampshade holder are easily locked with screws. The power feeder cable is provided in the lamp base and the arm of lampshade holder. The structure of the object is designed to meet the artistic atmosphere of totally harmonized faceted glass as if it is a glass peaceful swan.
Design Challenge: It took a long time to invent the mechanism of easily holding and locking a drinking glass by making some prototypes. The problem was solved by a simple screw locking mechanism, although it was difficult to lock the drinking glass so as not to stress the power feeder cable. And the lamp base is created by glassblowing with the cooperation of staffs (Mr. Bitou, Mr. Toda and Ms. Watanabe) of the Tokushima Glass Studio.
Research: In order to realize the project Shining Glass, it was necessary to invent the mechanism which satisfies the function of holding a drinking glass without any modification such as drilling and providing power feeder cable inconspicuously. And the base of the lamp is necessary to realize the unique semi-circular arm structure to hold faceted drinking glass.
Inspiration: The faceted glass beautifully reflects receiving the light from outside and soothes the soul of those who drink with it. Such an idea was coming up with that a favorite glass could also become a lampshade and create a beautiful light effect in a different way by reflecting from the light inside. And it is found out that the best way is to be totally designed with the feeling of transparency of glass by using the lamp base of faceted glass.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2021 in Tokushima, Japan and finished in December 2021, and the design got a utility model right on September 30th 2020 in Japan.
Operation Flow: It is very easy to install a faceted drinking glass for a lampshade in the table lamp shown in the optional image #4. First, you can take the drinking glass in your hand (upper left image) and insert it between the rubber pad of the semicircular arm and the other rubber pad of the jig (upper right and lower left images). Finally, you can securely lock the bottom of the glass with screws (lower right image). And also, you can enjoy the very variety of the table lamp because you can choose your favorite faceted drinking glass shown in the optional image #3.
