The Design

About Spike Lampe

Spike Lampe spillt mat Kontraster. Et reflektéiert eng Punk Kultur, awer nach eng skandinavesch Stëmmung ze berouegen. Et ass e voluminös Stéck, awer nach dat waarmt Liicht fokusséiert an e klengt pointy Beräich ënner dem Stéck. D'Spike-Lampe huet e aggressiivt Erscheinungsbild wéinst de Metallspikes déi op den Betrachter weisen. Zur selwechter Zäit gëtt et eppes roueg iwwer d'Gléisstheet vun der Keramikfläch a waarme Liicht. D'Lamp mécht Spannung an engem Interieur. Wéi en Individuum aus enger Subkultur.

Production Technology: The object is made in a two sided plaster mold. The outer surface of the ceramic object is spray glazed. The light is a dimmable LED.
Design Challenge: The challenge of the design was to create sophisticated piece with high quality materials, yet create a piece with a startling pulchritude.
Research: In the nature spikes are used to protect ones core, for example in the spiked plants and animals defend theirselves. The objective of the design was to simplify mathematical shapes of virus like forms into aesthetic outcome that has philosophical approach on social distancing.
Inspiration: The Spike lamp is inspired by social distancing and fashion subcultures. The core of the design is also mimicing the contrariety of nature, how simplicity becomes complexity.

The main materials used in the Spike lamp are mold made ceramic sphere and metal spikes. Both materials have shiny surface that reflect the environment of the object. The interior of the lamp is contrasting to the outer area, because it has a warm and smooth texture.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 in Helsinki and finished in May 2020.
Operation Flow: The Spike lamp has a aggressive appearance because of the metal spikes pointing towards the viewer. At the same time there is something calm about the smoothness of the ceramic surface and warm light. The lamp creates tension in a interior.
