L n°004

by DIALECT

Concept Statement: Our pendant lamp is characterized by its simplicity and pure form. Stripped of all unnecessary, a logical composition of cylindrical shapes creates a subtle and poetic object. The lamp only consists of three cylindrical aluminum pieces, a light source and a power cord. We consciously chose to treat the wire as an even part of the design. It adds a graphic touch and literally connects the aluminum pieces. Due to the asymmetrical position of the upright tube a tension arises. The weight of the lamp searches for the center of gravity and determines the position, giving the lamp a certain lightness and elegance. By using aluminum in its natural color - finely sanded and treated with natural wax - the tight shapes are given extra warmth and texture. Therefore each lamp will be unique Our aim to create an honest object, both in form and construction, results in this balanced image.
