Unique Properties: Spike lamp is studio made from ceramics and recycled metal. Spike plays with contrasts. It reflect to spiky fashion of punk culture yet to calm Scandinavian mood. It is a voluminous piece, yet the warm light is focused only into a small pointy area under the piece.
Dimensions & Packaging: The diameter of the ceramic part is 350 mm x 320 mm. With the spikes the diameter of the lamp is 450 mm x 370 mm.
Tags: lamp, spike, ceramic, metal, led
Production Technology: The object is made in a two sided plaster mold. The outer surface of the ceramic object is spray glazed. The light is a dimmable LED.
Design Challenge: The challenge of the design was to create sophisticated piece with high quality materials, yet create a piece with a startling pulchritude.
Research: In the nature spikes are used to protect ones core, for example in the spiked plants and animals defend theirselves. The objective of the design was to simplify mathematical shapes of virus like forms into aesthetic outcome that has philosophical approach on social distancing.
Inspiration: The Spike lamp is inspired by social distancing and fashion subcultures. The core of the design is also mimicing the contrariety of nature, how simplicity becomes complexity.

The main materials used in the Spike lamp are mold made ceramic sphere and metal spikes. Both materials have shiny surface that reflect the environment of the object. The interior of the lamp is contrasting to the outer area, because it has a warm and smooth texture.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2019 in Helsinki and finished in May 2020.
Operation Flow: The Spike lamp has a aggressive appearance because of the metal spikes pointing towards the viewer. At the same time there is something calm about the smoothness of the ceramic surface and warm light. The lamp creates tension in a interior.
