make me! 2015
Universal multifunctional lamp, which can stand on a table, lie on the floor, hang on a wall or shelf, or even from the ceiling. It is mobile, it can be moved from place to place. Stylistically and ideologically project combines the features of tradition and modernity through the used technologies and the form referring to an oil lamp. It is made of precious and solid materials such as beech wood, brass and steel. The project promotes the high quality of Polish craftsmanship combined with modern minimalistic design with timeless aesthetics. The product is formed at the interface between tradition and modernity. It is difficult to copy by mass manufacturers and at the same time intended for the production on commercial scale. The size and weight of the lamp was chosen with regard to international shipping standards, in order to generate lower transportation costs when sending the lamp abroad.
