About Firefly 벽 조명, 테이블 조명

파이어플라이(Firefly)는 벽면과 책상 위 모두에서 사용할 수 있는 조명이다. 이 조명은 불투명 유리 구체와 선반(旋盤) 가공으로 형태를 잡은 목재 베이스로 제작되었다. 지름 20밀리미터의 봉이 구체와 베이스를 연결하며, 구체가 360도 회전하기 때문에 경사진 천장에도 적합하다. 두 개의 광원이 포함되어 있는데, 하나는 야간등으로 사용할 수 있는 저광도 조명이고, 다른 하나는 독서를 위해 구체 아래에 배치된 조명이다. 전체 높이는 350밀리미터이다. 그 형태는 전기 조명이 등장하기 전 실내에서 사용되던 옛 등불을 떠올리게 한다.

Unique Properties: This design can be used both as a wall and a desk lamp. In addition to these features, due to the rotation of the illuminated part in the lamp's base, it is also a great choice for sloped ceilings. The object has two light sources: one with low intensity, suitable for use as a nightlight or for creating a semi-dark environment, and another light source beneath the lamp, ideal for reading or illuminating a space.
Dimensions & Packaging: diameter of the base: 200mm
height of the base: 200 mm
final height of the lamp: 350 mm

Production Technology: In the construction of this lamp, to achieve the designer's intended feel of old lamps, an opaque glass globe and a wooden base were used. The base is made using the lathe turning technique. A 2 cm diameter rod connects the globe to the base, and the globe rotates 360 degrees around the axis of this rod.
Design Challenge: The main challenge in designing this lamp was the client's request to add a lamp with a new design but an old-world feel to their products. Since the client was a manufacturer of wooden lighting and furniture, the designer faced limitations in using various materials for the design of this lamp.
Research: The firefly lamp is a research project aimed at discovering and recreating light-producing elements in architectural spaces, evoking a sense of place in Iranian and Middle Eastern architecture. The form development process moved towards creating a design that, without repeating the common decorations of traditional light-producing elements, would achieve a form with an old-world feel but with a new design. Ultimately, the choice of materials, along with the ability to rotate and control the light, are additional factors that have helped the designer create an Iranian-inspired form.
Inspiration: Firefly is the name of an insect that are light emitting, and also refers to something that shines in the darkness. It is a luminous object that illuminates its surrounding area, creating a unique identity around it.A firefly is reminiscent of old lamps that were used as luminous elements in indoor spaces before the invention of electricity and light bulbs. These lamps created a limited, low, and localized light in the space, with each one giving meaning to a corner of the environment.
Project Duration: The project finished in October 2024 in Tehran, Iran.
Operation Flow: The initial idea for the firefly lamp was shaped through a design order for a lighting suitable for hotel spaces. A lamp that, while being functional with controllable light, creates semi-lit spaces ideal for hotel rooms, while also being distinct and unique in form. This object can also be used as a light for sleeping or reading. However, its primary function is to enhance the quality of life in the surrounding space.
