*곡선미가 아름다운 스틸램프 [ shiro studio ] phylum for alessi

곡선이 주는 아름다움을 담는 빛은 램프라는 이름으로
구현됩니다. 굽이 굽이 물결치는 접혀 있는 얇은 스틸막은
미려한 형태와 균형미를 보여주는 동시에 내부에서 발산되는 빛과 맞물리면서
오묘한 빛과 그림자를 만들어 냅니다.
판금인지 주조 방식이 궁금증을 자아내는 아름다움 볼륨이네요.

london-based shiro studio has designed 'phylum' a table lamp for italian brand alessi's spring summer 2012 collection.

artificial light is perhaps one of the most precious phenomena of our civilization. the primordial instinct to protect its source like the most delicate flower is the design principle behind the lamp. the brilliance of the object acts as ethereal pollen, gently shaded by two ribbed steel petals. the compact size of 'phylum' allows its luminosity to become ubiquitous, while the geometry of the petals lets the user direct the light source in different directions. the leaf ribbing not only increases the rigidity of the thin metal sheet by which it is made, but enhances the overall illuminating quality of the lamp's caustic projections.  the design draws its influences from the formal language adopted by shiro studio's andrea morgante, and the 'megaptera' tray he developed for alessi in 2011. the lamp is created using a complex production technique that involves modelling a sheet of corrugated and folded steel into a form that evokes the corolla of a flower, shiny on the outside and white, matte on the inside. the refined contrast between the white and the shiny steel transforms into an evocative synthesis for diffused and reflected light.
