About Sound Wave Lampa de Suspension

Sound Wave es una lampa de suspension inspirada per la forma visuala d'una composicion musicala. La melodia del Preludi n° 3, Lo Vent dins la Plana de Claude Debussy foguèt convertida en un imatge d'onda sonòra amb un programa especial, e la corba resultanta venguèt la basa de la silueta de la lampa. La forma foguèt puèi ajustada per de melhoras proprietats luminosas e per la produccion en seria. Un veire blanc mat es plaçat sus una estructura metallica, e un element decoratiu de veire en blau, aur, negre o gris es pausat en dessús, çò que permet d'evitar las fixacions visiblas. La nautor del fil se pòt cambiar de 100 a 3000 mm.

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: During the development of the lamp, a musical composition was first chosen. The choice fell on the melody of Claude Debussy's "Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain." After that, the music was turned into an image of a sound wave using a special program. It became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. However, small changes were made to it in order to optimize the design for the optimal light properties of the lamp and the requirements for mass production.
Dimensions & Packaging: Special magnetic ceiling bowls are used in lamps. Bolts for fastening to the ceiling are hidden - this saves the structure from unnecessary "visual noise." The lamps are made of white glass with colored elements in four colors: blue, gold, black gray. Interchangeable G9 bulbs allow you to choose power and color temperature. Wire height can be changed - from 100 to 3000 mm.

Production Technology: Unique in the design is a multi-stage system. With it, first, matte glass is put on a metal structure with a light bulb. And then a decorative glass element of different interchangeable colors is placed on this glass. With this, the structure is relieved of bolts and additional fasteners. Therefore, the production speed and quality are improved. The amount of scrap decreases, and therefore the damage to the environment decreases. And also the lamp becomes more durable.
Design Challenge: In order to turn the silhouette of a sound wave, thinking out the design of the lamp turned out to be a difficult task. Since it was decided to use two glass elements of different colors in the same lamp, it was decided to apply the upper element to the lower one in order to get rid of additional fasteners, and achieve a concise design.
Research: The goal of the designer was to turn the vivid emotions that people receive from music into a physical object, with the possibility of practical application at home. An important task was to study music programs that could make the melody a sound wave. And then it was decided to make a lamp out of it. Then there was a long process of choosing music, so that her silhouette is suitable for creating a silhouette of a lamp that can be produced.
Inspiration: The prototype of this lamp was the silhouette of the sound wave of the work of Claude Debussy, the great composer and innovator - one of the founders of modernism in music. This was achieved through a special program and styling by the designer. Now we can not only hear our favorite melody, but also see it. And also touch with your own hands.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2023 in Moscow and finished in August 2023 in Moscow, and was exhibited in Interlight Russia 2023 in September 2023.
Operation Flow: This collection is ideal for creating multilevel compositions by adjusting the height of the wires. Moreover, thanks to black wires and ceiling bowls that fit together, they can be used in flights of stairs, over dining tables, instead of sconces on the side of the bed. These lights will be a striking interior accent thanks to the design and craftsmanship of the glassblowers.
