SHADOW OF THE PAST - Металлическая подвесная лампа
Shadows of the past is a pendant lamp
Shadows of the past is a collection dedicated to cultural heritage, as all metal elements repeat the silhouettes of antique amphoras, and study the possibilities of light and shadow. In order to accomplish these tasks, a form of traditional Greek ceramics was taken as the basis, from which wire elements were created. In order to give the form a more modern and original look, half of the elements were made the other way around. This technique gave the form an asymmetrical and more radical design. An important part of the design of the subject was the work with light and shadows. Due to the location of the light source in the middle, wire elements create a play of shadows around themselves. In the design of the lamp, the principles of laconic design were applied. Therefore, all fastenings of wires and other metal elements were made with hidden fastening structures. For example, magnets have been used to get rid of visual noise in the ceiling cup. In this way, there are no bolts on the sides and a wire holder on it, they are all hidden inside it.
