Creating a deeper connection between man and home is the conceptual goal of design. The use of copper metal, which inherently creates feels relaxed, is due to this concept. The user can control the light of the lamp with each touch of copper metal. The designer has been looking for deeper interaction with the lamp. four houses as a sign of the four main elements of life and soft and warm light which is in the center of them as a sign of consciousness, the type of light and shadow resulting from its combination with houses creates a feeling of Poetically space.

- Production Technology
- The main materials used in the lamp design are copper pipes that are welded together. The central core of the lights is a matte plexiglas with led. The concrete frame is made of lightweight concrete with custom molding in which gfrc glass fibers are used to increase the tensile strength. The dimmer used in this lamp is custom made by the electronics team.
- Design Challenge
- The relationship between man, home, and the light was at the center of the research. The product had to respect the aesthetic and philosophical canons of the company and use materials and production technologies In a way, it should convey the sense of confrontation between home, meaning living space, and home, which is just a machine for living.
- Project Duration
- The Lamp was designed in Jun 2017 in Tehran/Iran and made in August 2017 Tehran/Iran.
- Operation Flow
- The Home has an integrated custom touch dimmer. As coper is conductive, this system takes advantage of its properties, so when you touch the copper section lamp on any side it turns on/off. The user can also control the led brightness by tapping the lamp several times. This makes the object looks more sculptural as you don't need a black metal box with a dimmer close to the lamp to be able to turn it on, it's just the lamp.
- Research
- The main research in the design of this lamp was on the concepts that can connect the house to the lamp. The designer has been looking for meanings but sometimes intuitively approached the subject, lighting is not something that is just there. we want to use it
In fact, in this object, warm sense and relaxing houses made of copper metal are contrasted with cold concrete houses, and it is a sign of the confusion of man today between modern cold life and the peace and feeling of the need of his soul. - Inspiration
- Architecture means embodying the spirit of the place and the architect duty is to create meaningful places through which to help man to be and pay attention to his existence This sentence is the idea of designing this lamp The most basic human connection with architecture is the house and man needs housing A similar but intimate relationship exists in the domestic environment between man light and space resulting in inexplicable prosperity and peace of mind
