About Coral Blanche Nyali Yapansi
Coral Blanche ndi nyali yapansi yolimbikitsidwa ndi kachitidwe ka coral bleaching (kutuwa kwa mchere wa nyanja). Chomangira chachikulu chili ngati mawonekedwe a coral yotuwa yooneka ngati chipupa, yosankhidwa chifukwa cha kulimba kwake ndi maonekedwe ake. Magetsi khumi a LED ophimbidwa ndi galasi lakuda ali pa chomangirachi ndipo akuimira mazira omwe amaikidwa ndi nsomba za coral. Thupi la nyaliyi lapangidwa ndi zinthu zosakaniza za starch zomwe zimawola mwachilengedwe. Nyaliyi ingaikidwe m'chipinda chochezera anthu kuti iunikire pansi kapena khoma. Coral Blanche ili ndi mulingo wa mamilimita 1771 m'lifupi ndi mamilimita 1547 m'litali. Kapangidwe kameneka kamakopa chidwi pa nkhani ya coral bleaching, vuto lapadziko lonse lokhudzana ndi kukwera kwa kutentha kwa nyanja.

Behind the Design

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Coral Blanche is a lighting design project intended to explore Coral Bleaching in design language. Coral Bleaching is associated with a whitening phenomenon. Ironically, the whitening process is the transient beauty due to corals' effort to survive. When algae displacement is prolonged, corals' starvation continues on. These bleached corals then soon become decayed, eventually resulting in destruction of coral reefs.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 1771 mm (Width) x 1547 mm (Height)
- Tags
- Coral Bleaching, Coral Lighting, Coral Blanche
- Production Technology
- The main body is constructed with biodegradable blends, and frost LED bulbs are used for lighting.
- Design Challenge
- The initial challenge came from selecting the right coral shape as a main structure in association with light bulbs. As a result, a sea fan coral was chosen for its structural integrity and aesthetic beauty. And the second challenge was a material choice. Biodegradability was the key for the material used. Corn-based PLA (polyactic acid) was initially considered, but it was rejected due to its non-biodegradability (compostable in a controlled condition). Biodegradable (preferably starch) blends were then selected.
- Research
- Coral Blanche is a design study to explore Coral Bleaching. Coral Bleaching is a global crisis as most coral reef habitats could experience extinction by 2100. It examines the transient beauty of Coral Bleaching and its dire consequence, extensive marine life degradation.
- Inspiration
- The project was inspired by Coral Bleaching. Coral Bleaching is a global issue that a macro scale of coral reefs experience a whitening phenomenon devastated by the rise of ocean temperature. The Coral Bleaching process is initiated by polyps displacing algae in the coral tissues, subsequently leading to coral's starvation and death.
- Project Duration
- The project began in May 2020 and finished in June 2020 in Banff, Canada.
- Operation Flow
- Coral Blanche is a floor lamp, ideally placed in a living room for floor lighting or wall lighting. Its main structure is designed to be a bleached sea fan coral and ten LED bulbs are affixed to the structure. The light bulbs represent eggs laid by coral fishes. These eggs light up their lives while being exposed to potential threats as their cradles are rapidly perished.
