CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Fungi take death and give birth to anew. Inspired by the mushroom’s morphology, the fruiting body of “Shibo” is manipulated by shibori fabric that oozes vertical fluid lines. These run from the base through its shade. It seizes scrap metal to be plated with a hairline brass finish and gives luxury to the product. Many mushrooms form a symbiotic relationship between their root networks. This combined association of rigid (metal) and fluid (fabric) material will pattern a balance between art and design. Aside from its aesthetic, the lamp will reflect ambient and task lighting with a ball joint to its shade and allow the light to direct at a 360 degrees rotation conducive for working and sleeping.

Handcrafted to perfection, the product promotes hope and opportunities to local communities in the Philippines during this crisis.

Let’s illuminate our sanctuary and preserve the existence of life.

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Secrecy. Il·lusió is the light that carries on a secret. The light switches on and suddenly, this secret becomes fully revealed. The philosophy behind Il·lusió was to elicit an emotion within the beholder, explicitly, the sensation felt when the beautifully unexpected arises.

Il·lusió is the result of a one month project based on the simple brief of designing a light using glass and LEDs. It is the effect created by a gradient metallic coating on the glass lampshade, transforming from solid chrome at the bottom to transparency at the top, that hides, yet hints of, something placed inside. Light from underneath transmits through and illuminates the glass spheres, displaying a new dimension of light. The use of borosilicate glass, recognized as a sustainable and durable material, and the aspiration to convey a beautiful sensation within the viewer, are what makes Il·lusió, Il·lusió.

PROJECT SPECS:

- Hand blown lampshade in 2 mm thick borosilicate glass (Process of melting and shaping called lampworking). ø 380, H 185 mm.

- Eight spheres in frosted borosilicate glass(3 mm thick). Four sizes.

- LED module (2500lm, 500mA, 3000K) with a red coaxial cord(3 mm thick) run by a 21 Watt LED driver.

- Plastic lens, aluminum plate, metal cover with electro-welded threaded metal pins, steel wire(1.2mm thick), griplock + M4 metal nuts and silicone discs.

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

The lamp was created in connection with the growing trend of smart home solutions. As is widely accepted, lighting plays a great part in living space quality - just like indoor plants do. This soulution responds to both needs and the result is a smart centrepiece mood lamp which serves as a planter pot. The delicately textured upper part encases the plant in light, while the contrasting rough concrete provides a solid base. The lamp can be controlled with a remote or through the Zigbee 3.0 protocol, using popular home automation bridging devices and mobile apps. This allows for full spectrum of colors, timing, fading and other functions. The plant container is conically shaped so that only a small portion is submerged in the water container and the soil can slowly wick the water up.

PROJECT SPECS:

The product's dimensions are roughly 20x20x20 cm. The base is hand-cast from concrete in a silicon mold with precise pockets for electronics and the planter components. Planter components are 3D printed using white and transparent PETG filaments, which offer great durability in contact with moisture while being food-safe. PETG is 100% recyclable and the product lifecycle is expected to be considerable. We are exploring the use of recycled filaments in the future.
