About Spike Svetilka

Spike svetilka igra s kontrasti. Odseva na punk kulturo, vendar pomirja skandinavsko razpoloženje. Je obsežen kos, vendar je topla svetloba usmerjena v majhen koničasti predel pod kosom. Žarnica Spike ima agresiven videz zaradi kovinskih konic, usmerjenih proti gledalcu. Hkrati je nekaj gladkega glede gladkosti keramične površine in tople svetlobe. Žarnica ustvarja napetost v notranjosti. Kot posameznik iz subkulture.

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.
