Marok

The Project was centered around creating a lamp in recycled materials. The materials for the lamp were chosen as a company had a leftover parti of MDF and honeycomb cardboard from wine transport. These materials were going to get trashed, so I chose to give them a new purpose. 

 

My idea was to challenge the materials and their properties to find a design approach/idea fitted for the matter. Having the materials as a center for the design, they played a huge part in determining the function and shape. The lamp ended up being the medium of Scandinavian and Moroccan design, working as a minimalistic simple sculpture during the day when it is turned off, but when it is turned on at night it reveals a world of warmth and patterns on the wall.

​

The final lamp was a result of viewing a property in the honeycomb cardboard and drawing parallels to Moroccan cobber lamps. The function of the lamp is very much decorative secondary lighting as the Moroccan cobber lamps, and the shape is minimalistic and neutral like Scandinavian design. The front of the lamp is circular when turned off, but when it is turned on a keyhole of light reveals itself. Unlocking the magic of the lamp.
