Double Moon

Description

INSPIRATION:

"Double moon" is a gravitational capture phenomenon where, in addition to a single permanent natural satellite, the Moon, the Earth has a second, temporary satellite. This rare phenomenon occurred in 2024. And it became a source of inspiration for the creation of this collection of lamps. Celestial bodies have always been a source of light for people day and night. And they have always inspired people to create artificial light sources.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

The collection was inspired by a rare astronomical phenomenon - the "double moon." Various technologies have been used to create a lamp with a mysterious and bewitching effect. For example, lights were hidden in the base on both sides and covered with matte diffusers to create soft lighting. Glass spheres are painted with a mirrored tinted gradient that reflects light and creates incredible patterns on the walls, and smooth highlights appear on the glass itself.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY *:

The collection consists of a metal base, inside which there are two LED boards, above and below. They are covered with a matte diffuser, which creates a soft, comfortable light. The light re-reflects from the mirror gradient on the glass spheres and creates spectacular lighting on the wall. The luminous flux of lamps is large enough for a wall lamp, and therefore it will suit a wide variety of functions in the interior. Models are made in three colors: dark nickel, brass, black.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION **:

Models can be installed vertically and horizontally. This creates different applications in space. The collection has a fairly versatile design and laconic shape. This allows you to use models in different interior styles. Due to the significant light flux, the lamps can be used next to the bed, desk and as additional lighting.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT **:

During the study, the properties of light were studied in order for light to create beautiful glare on the wall. For this, different glasses were used, and in the selection process, the mirror gradient turned out to be the best. Various structures were also designed, such as metal foundations and glass fasteners. All this was done to create a subtle neat silhouette of the lamp.

CREATIVE / RESEARCH CHALLENGE

The most important task was to convey the mysterious cosmic image of the double moon so that the models looked very laconic and spectacular. For this, many hand-drawn sketches were created to find a successful and simple at first glance design. This could only be achieved through LED technology and gradient staining of the glass.

BOOK PAGE & PR SUMMARY

"Double moon" is a gravitational capture phenomenon where, in addition to a single permanent natural satellite, the Moon, the Earth has a second, temporary satellite. It was this exciting phenomenon that inspired these models. To convey this effect, laconic shapes were chosen and an elegant silhouette was created. Various lighting effects were also used to create glare on walls and on glass elements. As well as mirror gradient.

Crochet

INSPIRATION:

In the collection, it was decided to combine cultural heritage, the search for the original form and functionality. The main artistic language is the association with ancient craft, namely knitting, is one of the most ancient types of decorative art. It takes its roots in the era of antiquity. The metal construction of the floor lamp resembles the interweaving of spokes during the knitting process, and the LED flexible cord resembles woolen threads.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:

In the process of artistic search, a unique shape of the lamp was found, which was combined with laconic engineering solutions, thanks to which the floor lamp was devoid of visual noise and retained a laconic silhouette. Due to its standard height and the location of the LED cord at the top of the floor lamp, the lamp creates soft functional lighting. This lamp can be used for reading, work and leisure.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY *:

When developing this collection, special attention was paid to the shape of the LED cord so that it would make an oval. For this purpose, the weight of the cord and how it bends was taken into account. The task was also to make it affordable. For this reason, metal pipes were made collapsible, and a special cast metal element was created in the middle. The LED cord was made matte to make it look better and to be tactilely pleasing.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION **:

The light source in the floor lamp is a matte LED cord. Due to the fact that it is located at the top of the lamp, it can be used for accent lighting and for reading. It is created in the style of minimalism with a smooth oval shape of the cord. Therefore, it can be used in different interior styles. In terms of functionality, floor lamp can be used in different rooms: in the office, living room, bedroom and in public spaces.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT **:

The main task of the study was to find a new relevant form of floor lamp and in this form convey the idea of ​ ​ a lamp, which is inspired by an ancient craft - knitting. For this, hundreds of hand sketches were created. After the shape was determined, it was necessary to carefully simulate the lamp from all sides, since the LED cord can bend, it was very important that it looked good from any angle.

CREATIVE / RESEARCH CHALLENGE

When developing the lamp, various ancient crafts were studied, since the idea of ​ ​ the project was to combine the ancient craft with current lighting technologies, and it so happened that when studying knitting, an association with an LED cord arose. Thanks to this, the basis of the idea was born, which began to develop. And in the process of creating sketches, a new unique shape of the floor lamp appeared.

BOOK PAGE & PR SUMMARY

The idea of ​ ​ the collection is to combine the traditions of ancient crafts with modern technology. This floor lamp combines knitting, which is one of the most ancient types of decorative art, with the latest LED cord technology. The metal construction of the lamp resembles the interweaving of spokes during the knitting process, and the LED flexible cord resembles woolen threads. When developing this collection, special attention was paid to the shape of the LED cord so that it would make an oval. This approach made it possible to create a unique form of floor lamp.
