DESIGN/PROJECT NAME:

The table lamps are designed with a simple and elegant shape, without any visible connections or bolts that would disrupt the clean lines. All fasteners are concealed using well-designed engineering solutions, and glasses with a special design are placed on a metal base to create a cohesive overall look. The ceramic base is weighted internally to ensure maximum stability.

 INSPIRATION:

The design of the Memory collection lights draws inspiration from the hourglass silhouette, which is a symbol of nostalgia for the past. Although rarely used nowadays, the hourglass shape evokes a sense of longing for bygone times. The choice of materials further emphasizes this theme, with the lamps featuring white translucent and transparent glass as well as ceramics with a glossy glaze, a technique that has been used since ancient times.

PRODUCTION OR REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY (AND MATERIALS):

The designer aimed to create modern and minimalist ceramic designs, utilizing one of the oldest materials known to man. Ceramic products have been found in ancient archaeological excavations, and the lamp's hourglass shape serves as a reminder of this rich history. The design also incorporates translucent white glossy glass and a transparent ceiling, seamlessly integrated into the overall aesthetic.

 SPECIFICATIONS / DIMENSIONS / PACKAGE / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES*:

The lamps are made from glass, ceramics, and metal, and are available in two colors: black and white. They use replaceable E27 bulbs and have a height of 425 mm and a diameter of 300 mm.

 OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:

Thanks to the ceramic base's weighting, the lamp can be used in various settings. The translucent glossy glass creates a soft and scattered light, making it suitable for bedside tables, desks, hotel receptions, or any other area. The glass ceiling covering the E27 light bulb ensures protection against humidity and splashes, and the lampshade can be easily removed for cleaning.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:

The designer conducted research on both ancient and contemporary ceramic works. Amidst a wide range of forms, the designer chose the understated hourglass silhouette to pay homage to the craftsmanship of the past.

 THE CREATIVE / RESEARCH CHALLENGE:

The main challenge was to create a visually noise-free structure with an elegant silhouette. To achieve this, the proportions of the table lamp elements were meticulously calculated. Additionally, a special recess was incorporated into the transparent ceiling to allow for easy fitting onto a white ceiling without any extra fasteners.
