Project
Two: Upcycled Utility – Pendant Lamp
Upcycled
Utility allowed me to experience and explores the relationship between
industrial design and ecological sustainability through recycling discarded
JCDecaux advertising poster. Using a variety of folding, cutting experiments
and research I reused and transformed this used advertising posters into an
elegant piece of pendant lamp.
The
Nukrobiyo pendant lamp is inspired by the discarded poster and the importance
of ecological sustainability. The name” nukrobiyo” means “gem” in Filipino. The
lamp mimics the shape of a gem or a crystal which communicates the importance
of recycling and its impact towards the environment. The design is flat
packable which is space saver and efficient for Australia post mailing
delivery. It is easy to assemble and disassemble without any use of clips or
fasteners instead with its interlocking snap joints. Furthermore, it is easy to
mass-manufacture.
This
pendant lamp is an elegant mood lamp which earns its place to be displayed in
the upmarkets with added value despite of its old estate. A relax warmth
ambient and depth are distributed in the room once the lamp is lit. The
juxtaposition of subtle diamond-leaf like pattern on the lamp provides a dramatic
effect aesthetically wether the lamp is lit or not. It also gives a nice solid
geometrical and structural shape. The folding in the lamp made it more dynamic
together with the nice original print in the discarded poster.
Mimicking
gem-crystal like Nukrobiyo pendant lamp is simply geometrically structural yet
sophisticated upcycled product. It provides you a light that delivers warm but
relax mood once it’s lit up. This product serves as a pendant lamp and
decoration which is suitable for upmarket shops, restaurants and home. The
process of transforming of something that is disposed into an elegant
reincarnation of a lamp is visible through this Nukrobiyo pendant lamp.
I really like this. I like the shape of the lamp and also the colour of lamp. Colour and shape match really well. Each pieces with different colour make it look better. However i think it looks too solid. But still i think this is one of the best one i saw:D
ReplyDeleteThis lamp design is fascinates me. The form and the colours work really well together especially when the light is lit. The aesthetic appeal is very sophisticated and elegant however improvement can always be made by letting some of the light out of the lamp. Overall, it is a very well thought out design.
ReplyDeleteyour stencil pattern on the templates are very beautiful, very well craftmanship, however the letdown is the overall simple form of the lamp, if you develop a bit more on the actual form, it would be a knockout
ReplyDeletevery nice design, looks good and works well. the perforations add so much to the lamp. One improvement could be adding some more of the perforations, maybe in a differant style to let some more light out to change it into a more functional light.
ReplyDeleteyour design for your lamp is very nice and is very pleasureable to look at. the cut-outs you have added really add a whole lot more to the lamp. for improvement, maybe you could make it more open so more light can shine out
ReplyDeletematt you had a beautiful design lots of work was done
ReplyDeletelots of folds and a great choice of pattern
the leaves pattern gave out a great light through it which is amazing
its one of the lightsi would like to purchase
