The Design

About Meduse Lampu Arca

Meduse ialah lampu arca yang diinspirasikan oleh habitat marin. Setiap keping menggabungkan seramik Raku dengan tentakel kaca Murano tiupan. Lampu ini sesuai untuk kegunaan dalaman dan luaran serta menghasilkan kesan cahaya dan bayang-bayang pada dinding berhampiran. Pencahayaan LED pelbagai warna boleh dilaraskan dengan alat kawalan jauh. Badan seramik dibentuk daripada tanah liat tahan api, dikeringkan, dibakar, disadur kaca dan dibakar semula pada suhu 930 darjah Celsius, kemudian dikeluarkan daripada ketuhar ketika masih panas. Kejutan haba yang terhasil mewujudkan permukaan retak dengan pantulan logam dan berkilauan pelangi.

Integration of two materials only ceramic Peru and Murano glass, harmonized thanks to the reflections of multicolored Led lighting.
Raku process during the heat shock, the flames and the oxygen reduction method at 930 degrees celsius, are decisive for both the craquelure decorative effect and metallic and iridescent reflections.

Production Technology: After the modelling with refractory clay, I begin a deconstruction process of the traditional shape, a 20 day long drying process begins. I go on with the first cooking at 950 degrees celsius, the glazing process and the second cooking into a Raku oven at 930 degrees celsius. The object is removed still white-hot from the oven. Arrangement of the Led lighting system and finally the insertion of the Murano blown glass tentacles.
Design Challenge: Take the pieces out of the oven at 940 degrees celsius and quickly manage the thermal shock in three minutes.
The integration of the glass tentacles on the ceramic base.
Research: The goal is to create lamps that integrate Art and Design. The method is transversal by integrating two techniques ceramics with Murano glass; Through the Deconstruction of art, a process of liberation from the traditional historical form begins to give way to a new syncretic language. Two readings: Fusion of different techniques and cultures and Safeguarding the oceans, a tropicalization of the Mediterranean is occurring.The lamp has had a positive impact in Milan and in the VeniceGlassWeek 2020
Inspiration: The Marine Habitat, I conceive my works as reflections of a recreated nature, the connection between nature and culture is a constant in my work. I work across different disciplines.I began a path of alienation from the Traditional shape in order to give way to a new syncretic language by the deconstruction of the art.
The work communicates two levels of interpretation:
Fusion and integration of two cultures, Peru and Italy.
Safeguarding seas and oceans: a Tropicalization of the Mediterranean sea is occurring.
Project Duration: Modeled with clay: 12 days
Drying: 20 days
Blown glass processing: 7 days
Location: Lido of Venice and Murano,Italy
Operation Flow: The object can be used as an Indoor and Outdoor Lamp. The lamp is suitable for creating new atmospheres with light and shadow effects on the wall. The user can interact by changing different colors using the remote control.
