About Spike Jiro

Ny jiro spike dia milalao amin'ny fampitahana. Hita taratra amin'ny kolontsaina punk izany, kanefa tsy tony ny toetsaina Skandinavia. Izy io dia sombin-javatra miloko, fa ny jiro mafana kosa dia mifantoka amin'ny faritra pointy kely ambanin'ny sombiny. Ny jiro Spike dia manana endrika masiaka noho ny spike vy manondro ilay mpijery. Mandritra izany fotoana izany dia misy zavatra milamina momba ny famirapiratry ny seramika ary ny hazavana mafana. Ny jiro dia miteraka fihenjanana ao anatiny. Toy ny olon-tokana avy amin'ny secteur.

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.

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.
