CONCEPT STATEMENT:

MAJA - A line of folding lamps

The special feature of the MAJA is its ability to fold as a result of combining two types of materials: a soft one (tissue) and a rigid one (medium density fiberboard). The tissue acts as a hinge allowing the lamp to fold.

A folding lamp has three major advantages: --minimising the footprint during warehousing/transportation; --minimising packaging space thereby reducing delivery costs, (as illustrated by the difference between shipping open and folded umbrellas); --final assembly by the end-user places him/her in an active role.

The design line is very versatile: varying the number, size and shape of the rigid pieces yields a variety of product sizes and shapes which, along with variations in textures and colours, adapts MAJA to diverse ambience requirements.

The folding nature of these lamps defines their beauty, the beauty that objects radiate when their form is dictated by their function.

PROJECT SPECS:

The product is made up of two materials: medium-density-fiberboard (MDF) and tissue. Besides the electrical parts, no screws or metals are used.

It is sold folded and disassembled in a 9.1” x 9.4” x 2” recycled-cardboard box, with assembly instructions. Assembly is simple and intuitive.

The assembled product dimensions are 9”-ø x 9.8”-height and weighs 600 grams (excluding box).

The picture shows lamps with several paints and finishes: black lacquered, white semi-gloss, yellow semi-gloss.
