Malunga ne-Blocks Lamps Isibane Setafile

I-Blocks Lamps liqoqo lezibane zetafile ezinomfanekiso wobugcisa ezikhuthazwe lulwakhiwo lwasezidolophini. Iimo ezintlanu zizoba kwiilayibrari, iinqaba eziphakamileyo, izindlu zasedolophini, iipiramidi ezijikelezisiweyo kunye needlaka. Isibane ngasinye senziwe ngomthi we-oak omhlophe, iintsimbi kunye nephepha le-mulberry. Iipateni zenkalo yomthi ezithathwe kundlela yokushicilela zidluliselwa kwizigqubuthelo, zikhumbuza ukudlula kwexesha. Xa izibane zibekwe kunye, eli qela lifana nebhloko yesixeko kwaye lidala umdlalo phakathi kokukhanya nomthunzi. Eli qoqo liphatha ukukhanyisa njengento yobuqu nanjengento yolwakhiwo kunye.

Iimpawu Ezizodwa: Blocks features a series of sculptural table lamps that evoke the geometry of city blocks. Each lamp combines minimalist forms with textured surfaces, offering a modular aesthetic inspired by Chen’s experience of constant relocation—from Taiwan to Chicago and New York. The designs capture the tension between permanence and transience, symbolizing how objects and spaces accumulate meaning over time.
Imilinganiselo nePakishini: Tower Lamp: 120mm x 120mm x 343mm, Library Lamp: 153mm x 280mm x 172mm, Pyramid Lamp: 228mm x 228mm x 178mm, Arena Lamp: 203mm x 203mm x 203mm, House Lamp: 120mm x 120mm x 203mm.
Material: White Oak, steel, and mulberry paper.
Iithegi: Architectural Design, Lighting, Lamps, Wood, Blocks
Ubuchwepheshe Bokuvelisa: The sculptural table lamps take cues from architectural forms, spanning libraries, towers, townhouses, inverted pyramids, and arenas. These shapes transform familiar structures into modular, intimate objects, blurring the line between furniture and urban design. The wood grain textures from Chen’s printmaking technique are integrated into the lamp shades, transferring the organic patterns of wood onto a new material surface. This approach reinforces themes of time, material memory, and transformation within the lighting design.
Umngeni Woyilo: Inspired by Chen’s personal journey relocating between Taiwan, Chicago, and New York, the collection examines the act of packing, shifting, and reassessing belongings—both physically and emotionally.
Blocks reflects an object-oriented perspective, questioning how we define value, space, and memory in our lives. The work suggests that cubes—whether seen as obstacles, pixels, cities, or cherished objects—shape our perception of place and belonging.
Uphando: Blocks is a design-driven research project exploring architecture, material memory, and movement in object design. Inspired by relocation, it examines how urban landscapes and modularity shape emotional connections to objects. Drawing from libraries, towers, and townhouses, the lamps resemble cityscapes with wood grain-imprinted shades that capture time’s passage. The project reimagines lighting as both personal and architectural, bridging design, space, and memory.
Inkuthazo: The sculptural table lamps take cues from libraries, towers, townhouses, inverted pyramids, and arenas, transforming familiar structures into modular lighting pieces. When assembled together, the lamps resemble a city block, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that evokes the rhythms of urban environments. The wood grain textures from Chen’s printmaking technique are integrated into the lamp shades, transferring natural patterns onto a new medium and reinforcing the theme of time.
Ubude Beprojekthi: The project started at the end of 2024 and was exhibited in Stockholm Furniture Fair Greenhouse Exhibition 2025.
Ukuhamba Komsebenzi: When assembled together, the lamps resemble a city block, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that evokes the rhythms of built environments.
