About Magic Lampă de masă

Magic este o lampă de masă inspirată de forma naturală a ciupercii Liberty Cap. Abajurul este imprimat 3D din plastic pe bază vegetală, iar lumina care trece prin abajur evidențiază liniile concentrice în spirală lăsate de procesul de imprimare. Lamelele asemănătoare celor de ciupercă de sub cap sunt, de asemenea, imprimate 3D. Tija și baza sunt sculptate manual din lemn de esență tare provenit din surse locale, astfel încât fiecare piesă este unică. Trei niveluri de luminozitate sunt selectate cu un variator sensibil la atingere ascuns în bază. Lampa măsoară 150 pe 150 pe 650 de milimetri.

Production Technology: The lamp is produced in small workshop, using Ender 3 pro V2 3D printers and woodworking machinery; bandsaw, table saw, planer, and sanders. Fusion 360 design software is used to design the 3D printed parts. The wooden part is hand carved and comprises of three original pieces joined together.
Design Challenge: Carving the wood to create a thin stem and # dimensional curve without cutting into the cable within.
Research: After picking this mushroom in the fields of South Bohemia, the designer experienced its 'magical' psychedelic effects. The mushrooms appeared to him to glow and pulsate with a kind of 'life force'. He decided to capture this experience by using its form as a lamp design, the electricity and light bringing it to life. To create this the designer aimed to innovatively combine 3D printing technology with the hand crafted wooden form so the entire piece could be produced in house, with ecological materials. Research and experimentation were carried out in his workshop and with design software.
Inspiration: The natural form of the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata) a potent psychedelic mushroom inspired this design. Scientists have been recently discovering the powerful healing potential of this mushroom, and they are increasingly being used therapeutically around the world. As it's significance to our human experience becomes ever more understood, the form of this mushroom becomes more recognizable, carries more meaning, and deserves attention.
Project Duration: The design work began in early 2020 in Ceske Budejovice, Czechia, and completed at the end of 2020. It has been on sale at Etsy since January 2021.
Operation Flow: The Magic Lamp has a three stage dimmer switch operated by touching any part of the metal base.
