T-Lamp

by Heajin Ko

CONCEPT STATEMENT:

The T lamp is inspired by paintings in Performance B series which centers around geometrical shapes and finding the balance between them. And now, extending those ideas into a physical lighting experiment. The horizontal line of the T is represented by a LED fixture, balancing on a brass line with a matt wooden sphere at its base. The lamp has a T shape when it is horizontal and when moved to a vertical position, it transforms into a thin line which gives more emphasis to the sphere at the base. The structure of the lamp is simple but the 180 degree swivel gives the user the ability to pursue various shapes and positions of the lamp which can be used to set different moods or illuminate certain areas of a space, or for reading your next book.

PROJECT SPECS:

The T lamp is constructed with wood, brass, and a painted aluminum fixture. Overall Dimensions are 51.7"(H) x 35.4"(W) with a 10" diameter wooden sphere base. The LED fixture is 2700K, 24V LED 600Lm. The middle of the body is a 5⁄8" diameter brass tube connecting to the LED fixture with a 180 degree swivel joint. Sphere is made from pine tree and finished with Urethane.
