| DESIGN NAME: Kobra PRIMARY FUNCTION: Floorlamp INSPIRATION: Entirely inspired by the Snake, one of the most adaptable, flexible and simplistic animal on our planet. Snake's body is basically one singular muscle and because of its softness by means of scales composition, it can be adapted easily on any terrain. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This is the first lamp ever to unified its electrical connection, structural body, illumination section into 1 singular geometry. No more ugly wire to connect because it power cable is part of the lamp design. Made of recycled insulation pipe it is also soft throughout and avoid issues of scratches, damages or accidents with small infants. There are also accessories that can customize the lamp by simply slotting over it. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This is simple floorlamp with a Touch sensitive on/off switch on its body. We are considering implementing APP control and Remote to the design. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in 2015 and we will begin investigating on prototype manufacturing in March 2018 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The main structure of the body will be tubular steel but sectioned into 5 parts. The main casing will be in Insulation Foam of Various Color and Finishes. Electrical wiring will run through the entire tubular steel internal structure with the last section left without structure. The insulation foam casing will run for another 2 meters in this section allowing the power cord to bend freely. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: L 3172mm x W 1642mm x H 1976mm TAGS: Intergration, upcycle, flexible, snake, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Being a bit of a OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) designer I always hated the wire in any lamp design. No matter how gorgeous the lamp design is, even when the wire is wrapped in special finishing, that element of the wire always ruins the design for me. For the longest time I always wanted the eliminate this issue and even with the latest technology in rechargeable/wireles CHALLENGE: To find the simplest yet most flexible form to create the design took quite a long time. It was an exercise of continuous subtraction of excess geometry and function. Also finding the right material and structure to be so bendable yet durable took quite a while of trial and error.
