About Spike 灯

尖峰灯播放时带有对比。它反映了朋克文化，却没有平息斯堪的纳维亚的情绪。它是一块巨大的物体，但是温暖的光线聚焦在该物体下方的一个小尖点区域。由于金属尖头指向观察者，因此尖峰灯具有激进的外观。同时，陶瓷表面的光滑度和温暖的光线使人平静。灯在内部产生张力。就像来自亚文化的个人一样。

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.
