Mellow (tie)

by María del Mar González

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Mellow is a small portable outdoor lamp designed for a dinner with family or friends in a garden, park or beach. Since the light is emitted around but not upwards, it allows to illuminate the table and the environment without invading the visual field while having a relaxed conversation.

The change in light is regulated by the thickness of the lampshade: at the top it is opaque and at the bottom it is translucent, emitting a warm and mysterious light. With a minimalist and contemporary design, it is made up of a subtle revolution body that is slightly deformed. The volume and a light are discreet protagonists as the components are visually hidden and the material extends over the whole piece.

BIO: ¡Hola! I am a product designer from Spain. I have recently finished a Master in Product Design at LABASAD School of Arts and Design and I am currently carrying out an internship at La Cartuja de Sevilla, a well-known manufacturer of fine earthenware. I am particularly interested in homeware and furniture design, which leads me to analyse and propose designs from creativity and functionality, emotions and logic.
