About Artemis भुइँ बत्ती

आर्टेमिस जलेको काठ र धातुबाट बनेको भुइँ बत्ती हो। यस बत्तीको ठाडो रूपमा जोडिएको आकार छ जुन स्थिरताका लागि गह्रौं आधारबाट माथि उठ्छ। जलेको काठको फिनिस शोउ सुगी बान जलाउने प्रविधिबाट तयार पारिएको हो, जसले टिकाउपन बढाउँछ र सामग्रीको रेखा (ग्रेन) र गहिराइलाई प्रकट गर्छ। तीनपाते आकारको छायाँले प्रकाशलाई समान रूपमा फैलाउँछ, र एउटा साधारण अन-अफ स्विचले बत्तीलाई नियन्त्रण गर्छ। यसको आकार मुगल वास्तुकलामा गुम्बजहरूको शिखरमा रहने कलशहरूबाट प्रेरित छ। यो बत्तीको उचाइ ७२ इन्च र व्यास २२ इन्च छ।

Unique Properties: Artemis Floor Lamp is a sculptural lighting piece crafted from burnt wood and metal, defined by a vertically articulated form and a weighted, grounded base. The charred wood finish enhances durability while revealing material depth and texture. A trileaf-shaped lampshade softens and diffuses light evenly, while the restrained geometry balances craft and precision, allowing the lamp to function as both an ambient light source and a standalone object of design integrity.
Dimensions & Packaging: Height 72”
Diameter 22”

Design Challenge: The primary challenge was achieving a precise balance between proportion and stability within a slender vertical form. Referencing historical Mughal finials required careful scaling to avoid literal replication while maintaining visual hierarchy. Structurally, the lamp demanded a weighted base and refined transitions to ensure stability without compromising elegance, requiring multiple iterations to align form, balance, and functional performance.
Research: The research was exploratory and practice-based, aiming to translate architectural heritage into a functional object. The objective was to study proportion, balance, and symbolic form. The methodology involved visual study, sketching, and material trials. Tools included drawings, scale mock-ups, and prototypes. The process was designer-led. Results refined stability and form. Insights showed heritage can inform contemporary design, impacting craft practice and product identity.
Inspiration: The design draws inspiration from Mughal architecture, specifically the finials crowning domes, studied for their proportions, vertical hierarchy, and symbolic grounding. The project translates these historic forms into a contemporary object through material experimentation with burnt wood and metal, using controlled charring to enhance durability while retaining a clear architectural lineage and crafted precision.
Project Duration: The project commenced in September 2025 and progressed through both design development and fabrication over an estimated period of 20–24 days. Fabrication was completed in October 2025, culminating in a fully realized prototype that reflects the intended design intent and material exploration
Operation Flow: The lamp is operated by a simple on-off switch, allowing light to gently diffuse through the shade while the sculpted base remains visually stable. Its tall, balanced form guides the eye upward, creating a calm presence in a room. The layered base ensures stability, while the dark finish reduces visual clutter, helping the light feel warmer and more focused in everyday use.
