ALL FORM 53 LAMPS ARE COMMISSION-BASED PIECES. PLEASE CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION.
Inspired by a simple acorn and the curvature of filaments in a ‘dolly light bulb’, the Conic Lamp reflects the curvature found in Nature and this man-made light. By day the Conic Lamp is an elegant artwork equally at home in a modern residential or commercial setting. By night it transforms into an elliptic light sculpture, using shadow and downlight to create curved, Nature-inspired designs at the lamp’s base; stars, snowflakes, tropical leaves or flowers. The interpretation is left to the imagination. The soft glow of light from the top aperture is intended to anchor the lamp while allowing it to ‘float’ lightly on its base. To achieve this specific result, Gus designed a unique five-watt LED array recessed within the top bracket so it is obscured from sight. The LED light directs to the floor, allowing light to spill evenly through the brackets.
#WHY WE LIKE FORM 53?
In keeping with Gus’s commitment to using only sustainable natural materials for the Conic Lamp, each bracket is honed from 15 mm sustainably-grown bamboo. Bamboo’s rapid growth rate, superior natural strength and fine-textured grain were all factors that informed Gus’s choice of material; not only was it practically suitable for the curvy design, but the grain’s detail lends the finished natural lamps a raw elegance.
Conic lamp comes in two sizes (1200mm high x 480mm wide, and 1800mm high x 655mm wide) and with the option of two finishes – natural bamboo wood grain or black enamel paint on the external faces of the brackets.
This design received a Highly Commended award at the ECC New Zealand Student Craft/Design Awards 2018.
Size: 1800mm x 672mm
