The Design

About Ikebana Luminária de Piso

Ikebana é uma luminária de piso que também funciona como vaso. O nome faz referência à arte japonesa do arranjo floral. A luminária tem 1250 mm de altura e um anel de 280 mm de diâmetro. Um vaso de vidro removível, com base jateada, acomoda flores frescas e oculta a água. Uma estrutura metálica e uma base de mármore garantem estabilidade. Estão integradas duas fontes de luz dimerizáveis com difusores foscos: o anel superior ilumina o arranjo floral, enquanto a luz inferior atende superfícies de leitura e trabalho. A forma combinada economiza espaço em interiores pequenos.

Production Technology: Inspired by the ancient Japanese art of ikebana, this innovative floor lamp represents a unique fusion of traditional floral arrangement and contemporary design. Its distinctive feature is a dual-lighting system: an upper light accentuates floral compositions, while a lower light creates a cozy atmosphere for reading. The lamp’s innovative design, which combines functionality with artistic expression, fills a gap in the market by offering a sophisticated platform for displaying floral arrangements in modern interiors.
Design Challenge: The designer came up with the idea for the floor lamp-vase while thinking about moving to a new apartment with not much space. Since they really like having fresh flowers at home, they wanted to find a way to combine a lamp and a vase into one thing. It was a practical solution to save space while still being able to enjoy beautiful floral arrangements. The result is a useful and convenient piece of furniture that does two jobs at once.
Research: The primary research objective was to develop a design that seamlessly combines the functions of a floor lamp and a vase. The key challenge was to create a stable yet easily removable vase design while ensuring proper illumination for both floral arrangements and the workspace below. To achieve this goal, dozens of sketches and structural designs were developed. Extensive market research of vases and flowers was conducted to determine the optimal size parameters. Multiple stability tests were performed, leading to adjustments of the original base specifications to ensure both functionality and safety.
Inspiration: Drawing inspiration from the ancient Japanese art of ikebana — meaning life of flowers — the design embodies the essence of this refined art form. By blending traditional floral arrangement principles with modern interior aesthetics, the creator has successfully transformed the concept of a conventional lamp into a versatile platform for showcasing nature’s beauty. This fusion of Eastern philosophy and contemporary design creates a harmonious balance between art and functionality.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2025 in Moscow and finished in September 2025 in Moscow, and was exhibited in Interlight in October 2025.
Operation Flow: The Ikebana floor lamp serves a dual purpose as both a lighting fixture and a versatile vase. The removable glass vase is designed to accommodate fresh flowers, featuring a frosted base to conceal any standing water. The vase is easily detachable for cleaning and maintenance. A solid marble base ensures stability and balance. The lamp offers dimmable functionality controlled by a convenient switch located at the bottom. It features a dual lighting system: an upper ring illuminates the floral arrangement, while the lower light provides functional illumination for work surfaces. This multifunctional design is ideal for reading, working, or enhancing the decorative appeal of any space.
