About Ori Pastatomas šviestuvas

Ori – tai pastatomas šviestuvas, įkvėptas japoniškojo origami meno, kur „Ori“ reiškia lankstymą. Pagamintas iš vieno perdirbamo aliuminio lakšto, jis pasižymi aptakiu ir tvariu dizainu, kuriam nereikia suvirinimo. Viršutinė dalis sulenkta atvirkščiai, taip sukuriant vientisai integruotą gaubtą. 35 colių aukščio ir kompaktišku pagrindu pasižymintis Ori skleidžia švelnią, neakinančią šviesą, tinkamą skaitymui, o kartu jį lengva perkelti į kitą vietą. Atsisakius įprastų geometrinių struktūrų, dizainas pasiekia rafinuotą funkcionalumo ir estetikos pusiausvyrą.

Design Challenge
The most challenging aspect of this design was achieving an elegant and minimalist form while minimizing material use and manufacturing complexity. Lincoln needed to ensure that the folded structure provided both stability and production efficiency. External challenges included material selection, production limitations, and optimizing the form for easy transport. Internal challenges involved in-depth research on origami principles and adapting them to metal fabrication.
Research
Lincoln conducted extensive form studies for this project, aiming to create an elegant and minimalist design while using the least amount of material possible. Inspired by origami, he experimented with high-GSM paper to develop the form. By creating models in various shapes and sizes, he arrived at a refined final design. This form optimizes material usage and manufacturing efficiency, is easy to transport, and achieves a balance of simplicity and visual interest.
Inspiration
Lincoln aimed to design a lighting fixture with an elegant and minimalist form that is easy to produce and transport while utilizing a single material whenever possible. Drawing inspiration from Japanese origami, he explored how simple folds could transform a flat sheet of material into a three-dimensional and visually engaging structure.
Project Duration
This project began drafting in September 2024 and is currently in the prototyping phase. The design location for the project is in Pasadena, California.
Operation Flow
Lincoln's design is inspired by Japanese origami. The art of origami, which transforms flat sheets of paper into three-dimensional, full forms, left a deep impression on him. It revealed how a simple medium can be transformed into countless variations using clever techniques. He applied this concept in the design of the Ori floor lamp. With just simple folds, the Ori transforms a single sheet of metal into an elegant lighting fixture.
