About Spike Lampa

La lampa Spike jòga amb los contrastes. Fa referéncia a la cultura punk, mas tanben a l'ambient tranquil escandinau. Es una pèça voluminosa, mas la lutz calda es concentrada dins una pichona zòna pontuda dejós la pèça. La lampa Spike presenta un aspècte agressiu a causa de las picas metalicas que puntan vèrs l'observador. Al meteis temps, i a quicòm de tranquil dins la doçor de la superfícia ceramica e la lutz calda. La lampa crea una tension dins un interior. Coma un individu d'una sotscultura.
