About Aggregate Collection 플로어 램프

애그리게이트(Aggregate)는 재활용 및 폐기된 소재로 제작한 세 점의 플로어 램프 컬렉션입니다. 각 램프는 버려진 강철 조각을 용접해 만든 골조 위에 세워집니다. 본체는 콘크리트, 규사, 분쇄한 플라스틱 병을 혼합한 재료를 내알칼리성 섬유 기재 위에 얇게 덧입혀 손으로 조형했습니다. 콘크리트 혼합물을 거푸집에 붓지 않고 점토처럼 다루기 때문에, 램프마다 고유한 질감과 실루엣을 지니게 됩니다. 조명은 LED 튜브 전구가 담당하며, 하단의 스텝 스위치로 각 램프를 켜고 끕니다. 이 컬렉션은 도시의 폐기물에 새로운 쓰임새를 부여하고자 합니다.

Unique Properties: Each lamp uses a welded skeleton made from discarded steel scraps. The body is then sculpted with a custom mix of concrete and recycled plastic. Aggregate uses this material combination to revisit structure and texture. The concrete/plastic formula is powerful and malleable, transforming modern waste. Using recycled material, each lamp attempts to elevate discarded materials. Combining these materials with filtered LED bulbs, this project proudly benefits from design principles and artistic approaches, fusing craftsmanship with functionality of brilliantly bright light.

Production Technology: The substance of sidewalks and skyscrapers, Concrete is perhaps the most ubiquitous material in our contemporary culture. I first started by experimenting with Portland Cement (Type I per ASTM C 150). With weight issues during the application, experiments started with the proportions of water, cement, and gravel and additives such as, sugar, salt, shredded cardboard, shredded plastic bottles and fiber glass. Ultimately, I used shredded plastic bottles (almost as polymer or acrylic fibers) with an ECC concrete and well-graded silica sands on top of a thin alkali-resistant fiber base produced the best and most unique results.
Design Challenge: By researching the effects of the growth of urban and industrial areas, what is the visual language of consumer globalization? Can design truly transform modern waste resulting from urban expansion and consumerism?
Research: This design aimed to reappropriate materials that create our current scenic backdrops. Exploring ways to use concrete as a clay, rather than casting the material, the concrete was mixed with shaved plastic bottles and sculpted.
Inspiration: With the challenge to see if a design could transform modern waste, this collection aimed to reuse existing materials to create distinctly bright lights. After replacing fluorescent bulbs with LED tube lights, I knew I wanted to use the LED tubes in a floor lamp. The structural inspiration came while doing quick figurative gesture sketches, the model used a rod as a prop, bending and holding it outstretched between poses. These sketches became the essence of the design, a design that used materials motivated by human contortion.
Project Duration: The project started in Hong Kong in November of 2018 and was finished and shown at Savannah College of Art and Design in Savannah, GA for three months in 2019.
Operation Flow: On/off step light switches can be found at the base of the light.
