VOSDING Industrial Design
Description:
Up-lights as a specific category of lighting products are oftentimes used outdoors or in a very technical way to illuminate walls and ceilings. VOSDING Industrial Design wanted to join the well-known and convincing lighting effect with a sculptural yet minimalistic product for the home.
The table light is designed in two versions:
the smaller one has a single light source and the bigger one features an additional one that is directed slightly sidewards. The basic shape is composed of a cylinder that widens into a conical lampshade on the top. The bigger version is a combination of two times the same body that merge in an angle towards one another.
Production process and material are very special: the body of the light is 3D printed with sand by SANDHELDEN and can be colored in different tones. This prototype has a graphite black color that emphasizes the natural look and calmness of the objects. 3D-printing has the advantage that every technical geometry in the inside can be included in one production process, resulting in an easy to produce product that only needs to be equipped with electronic components after the printing process.
