Silhouette
Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti
Milano | 2021/22
The idea was to create an iconic shape, which looks different from every position in the room. A curved light tube and minimalist design at the same time. With a slim, simple appearance, it is designed to accentuate walls and create a cozy atmosphere. The lamp consists of an LED light source that emits soft and warm light. Even in the dark, the light source will glow for a while, until its lowly fades away.
To achieve this shape, I filled an acrylic tube with sand and heated it until the material became flexible. The sand supported the tube from the inside, preventing it from collapsing while allowing me to bend it into the desired form.
The light body is made of phosphorescent material, which is why it glows in the dark. All that remains visible is the silhouette of the loop shape, which gradually disappears into the darkness until the glow disappears completely.
