On the surface it may not look like a unique concept, it is after all a glowing lamp. Yet if you take a closer look at the luminous design by Maarten De Ceulaer you may be quite intrigued. “The Lighting Project” is going to be intriduced at Spazio Rossana Orlandi (Milano, Italy) during the Salone del Mobile, from 14-19 April, but for those of you who will not be attending we have the wrap.
In the words of the designer: the concept is simple but unique; by adding a few drops of edible food colourants to the water inside the bottle, you can change the colour of the lamp, and the atmosphere of the space. Any colour can be created by the right mix of the primary colours Cyan, Magenta and Yellow. The spherical shape in the bottom of the bottles is sandblasted from below, so the power-LED below it, mounted on an aluminium disc, illuminates it completely.
The food colourants will be supplied with the lamp, can be ordered afterwards, but can also be bought in most supermarkets. All lamps will be handmade in collaboration with a laboratory glass-ware atelier in Brussels. What you see on these images is the first series of prototypes, it will soon be expanded with more typologies of bottles, and various sizes will be available in each model.
Simple yet so beautiful.
