CONCEPT STATEMENT:

How cool isn’t it to be able to control the visibility behind a mirror. With Spegla Mirror Lamp you can! You simply dim up the light with the cord control wheel and a seamless overtone between the Mirror and the lamp will occur without changing the shape of the base. This fools the viewer who will question what happened and how it works.

How does it work though? The two-sided Spegla Mirror Lamp is based on a specific mirror glass that is not completely opaque. The result is an interior object that acts as a mirror when the lamp behind the circular glass sheet isn’t lit. While turning the light up, the glass sheet transmits the light through the glass, while the mirror effect gets less visible. At the same time the matt edge of the mirror begins to glow and enhances the round shape with the golden glowing frame.

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

X lamp is the result of a project to create a square monolithic lamp by assembling parts from a single material. The first prototype was made of wood. The result was warm, but not bright enough, so we decided to use translucent materials such as perforated sheet metal or onyx (marble). From this square lamp, we developed other shapes such as the circle (Round Lamp) and a shape in between (X lamp). The collection consists of three table lamps and three smaller pendant lamps, with the aim of producing as minimal waste as possible. The heart of these lamps is made of Tunisian plywood, a very banal material in Tunisia, and the idea was to ennoble it. The light is diffused upwards and spreads warmly through the translucent marble. These objects are made in a process that involves both manual and industrial work.

PROJECT SPECS:

X lamp is a lamp measuring 19cm x 19cm, composed of four semi-gloss onyx pieces assembled around a wooden base. The heart of these lamps is made of Tunisian plywood, a very commonplace material in Tunisia, so the idea was to ennoble it. X lamp features a black electric cable equipped with a 14W E27 2700K bulb.

BIO: I am a Tunisian architect-designer. Son of a self-taught designer, I was introduced very young to design. In 2017, I created JK LIGHTING, a label of luminous objects. This one is very quickly recognized for its innovative technique of assembling wooden slats. I received in 2019, 2020 and 2022 the prize of Tunisia Design Week. Recently, I started experimenting with new materials such as marble and steel.
