About Spike 燈

尖峰燈播放時帶有對比。它反映了朋克文化，卻沒有平息斯堪的納維亞的情緒。它是一塊巨大的物體，但是溫暖的光線聚焦在該物體下方的一個小尖點區域。由於金屬尖頭指向觀察者，因此尖峰燈具有激進的外觀。同時，陶瓷表面的光滑度和溫暖的光線使人平靜。燈在內部產生張力。就像來自亞文化的個人一樣。

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.
