About Magic Taa ya Meza
Magic ni taa ya meza iliyochochewa na umbo la asili la uyoga wa Liberty Cap. Kifuniko chake kimechapishwa kwa teknolojia ya 3D kutokana na plastiki inayotokana na mimea, na mwanga unaopita kwenye kifuniko hicho huangazia mistari ya mzunguko inayozunguka iliyoachwa na mchakato wa uchapishaji. Vipande vinavyofanana na matawi ya uyoga chini ya kichwa navyo vimechapishwa kwa teknolojia ya 3D. Shina na kitako vimechongwa kwa mikono kutoka kwa mbao ngumu zinazopatikana kwenye eneo la karibu, hivyo kila kipande ni cha kipekee. Viwango vitatu vya mwangaza huchaguliwa kwa kutumia kidhibiti cha mwanga kinachotambua mguso kilichofichwa ndani ya kitako. Taa hii ina vipimo vya milimita 150 kwa 150 kwa 650.

- 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.
