I
became interested in tackling the use of everyday objects
as new alternatives to conventional concepts. I wished to
utilise a dimming effect without electronic control and a
simple, elegant façade to hide all the electronic parts.
Using a Perspex tube and sea salt, the table lamp
ingeniously allows two different qualities of light. The
11 W PL-S can either be left exposed for a brighter light,
or the tube can be rotated so that the salt covers the CFL
for a more diffused effect. The tube is frosted to cut
down any glare. A clear band is left so the user can
appreciate the use of a natural everyday material. The
design is a modern portable table lamp. It is
sophisticated and elegant, but also contains an element of
playfulness.
