About Cage Taputapu Whakamarama

He raupapa whakamarama a Cage i hangaia ki ngā wae karaihe i pupuhia ā-ringa, e puritia ana i roto i ngā whare herehere konganuku. Ka hangaia ngā āhua karaihe mā te pupuhi karaihe wera, ā, ko ngā whare herehere konganuku ka hangaia mā te pūnaha kupenga tuku iho. Ko tētahi o ngā whare herehere he pinter, he mahanga raranga i hangaia mō te hī ika e ngā kaihī ika o Te Moana Meriterēnia. Ka whakaanga kē ngā āhua pupuhi āhua-kore i te māramatanga i ngā reiti rerekē, ka puta he pānga tioata, me te whakatau atarangi tauira ki ngā papa e karapoti ana. Kei roto i te raupapa nei ngā momo tārewa me ngā momo tū-papa i ngā rahi rerekē. Ko te whāinga he hono i te māramatanga, te karaihe me te whakaaro o te herekoretanga.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Cage lighting is produced with hot glass blowing and metal forming techniques. The amorphous and blown shaped units provide light refraction at different rates. In this way, it is aimed to create an illusionic and crystalline effect on the glasses. Emphasizing the communication between light and freedom and the organic bond with a transparent, warm material like glass is the main idea in the design.
Dimensions & Packaging: Cage lighting series includes lighting in different forms and sizes. The design suspended from the ceiling is 65cm x 65cm x 30cm. The design with wooden legs is 64 cm x 36 cm x 165 cm.Each lighting unit of the Cage series has a special wooden box. Lighting designs placed in this box are detected and prevented from moving. Glasses are packed in a separate wooden crate. It is placed from the top of the lighting during installation.

Production Technology: Metals used as cage symbols in the Cage lighting series were produced with a traditional mesh system. One of the metal cages produced in different shapes and sizes is the 'pinter' used for fishing. This fishing cage is specially produced by Mediterranean fishermen for the Cage series. The glasses in the cage were produced by the artist / designer in different forms using the hot glass blowing technique. In the glass factory, three hundred glasses were produced with the blowing technique. It was then put into the annealing furnace to prevent breakage during the process. The burrs of the glasses that came to room temperature were cleaned in the cold working shop. Adjustable light is visually impressive.Finally, the glasses are placed in metal cages in the form of stacks and offer different views.
Design Challenge: Many attempts were made in the production process in terms of shape and sustainability. Filling the cage completely with glass was one of the most difficult parts of this design. However, placing 5 bulbs equally is one of the difficult parts of the production process.
Research: The design phase for the Cage lighting series started at the end of undergraduate education in 2015. The transparency of glass and its interaction with light have been investigated in different sources. Technically and theoretically, illumination books have been studied.
Inspiration: This design is based on the relationship between glass and the refraction of light. The infiltration of light by finding an absolute path in captivity was used over glass material. The motto of the Cage Series is not to illuminate the spaces, but to make them livable. That's why bondage has inspired the cage image that completes the design.
Project Duration: Cage lighting, the first prototype of which was produced in Istanbul in 2015, made its first important exhibition in 2018 at the "Design Week Turkey" organization.
Operation Flow: Cage lighting is one of the best examples of forward transformation. The adventure of the cage used as a fish cage turns into light and reflects a visual feast with light. In addition, the shadows emitted by the light change the ambience of the environment. It takes the lighting design to a different dimension in interior design. The Cage series can be evaluated with its artistic touch to the lighting industry with collaborations in the architectural field.
