Design Challenge: The choice of marble represented a challenge to be overcome, as it was necessary to find a form that was slender and light enough to keep the luminaire resistant and balanced, but at the same time easy to use and harmonious in shape.
Research: At first, a lamp was thought of in which wood and marble were the main materials, but which also had a fabric dome to generate diffused and pleasant lighting. The design came about through simple geometric shapes on paper, and these shapes were entirely related to a different material. then volumetry began, seeking to connect each element.
Inspiration: Inspiration flowed from the vibrant Brazilian culture, architecture and art, seeking to create a luminescent product that incorporated these elements. The aim was to build something innovative and refined, suitable for both homes and workspaces, that would bring calming lighting, inspired by the lighting of the sunset. In the conception, the objective was to use primary geometric shapes that combined could highlight the maximum beauty of its materials and textures, generating a piece with a lot of natural contrast.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2021 in Maranhão, Brazil and ended in April 2022 in São Paulo, Brazil.
Operation Flow: The table lamp is very simple to use, it can be plugged directly into the socket through a cable coated in brown fabric with an on/off button in brushed brass.
