| DESIGN NAME: Friendly Fire PRIMARY FUNCTION: Lamp INSPIRATION: The inspiration to create these hanging lights was the most common used projectile of last century. We wanted to change its meaning and purpose and convert it into "friendly fire". Elevate industrial design into functional art. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Sculptural Lamp. Composed of 3 mortar grenades, this piece explores the beauty in the shape and the design of a mortar shell, with the intention to redefine its meaning and purpose. Made in Alabaster stone and brass plated in 24-Karat Gold, the work accurately reproduces the 80mm mortar shell grenade, one of the most commonly used projectiles in the last century. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The number of lights can be customized. The hanging height can be flexible. The RGB LED light turns "On-Off" as a common light. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design will be officially presented in Venice Design 2018, during the Architecture Biennial on May 24th 2018. |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The body of the lamp is sculpted by hand from a block of Alabaster Stone.The brass entities are laser cut, welded, and plated in 24-Karat Gold. This is design is artisan made, limited edition of 7 reproductions. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Materials: Alabaster stone, 24-K Gold plated brass, electronics. Dimensions x unit: Height 45cm, Diameter 8cm, Weight 10kg TAGS: Sculpture, light, limited edition, art, custom RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The main research of the project was to find out how to replicate a bomb from the last century and turn it into a lighting fixture. Our method was a trial-error process until the final result. CHALLENGE: The creative challenge was to build an exact replica of the projectile piece by piece in noble materials. Specially difficult was sculpting the thinner parts of the body in alabaster stone with the thread to attach the brass ring.
