These lamps explore the balance between craft and technology. They originated from the same sketches and digital designs but followed two different production paths.
-----------
The plastic lamps are 3D-printed and then carefully post-processed. The metal lamps went through a labor-intensive artisanal process, involving mold-making, lost-wax techniques, and meticulous finishing, sanding, and polishing of the metal.
By using techniques such as 3D modeling and 3D printing, I am able to create any form I desire. Where I would normally be limited by my own skills, such as achieving perfect symmetry or flawless curves, I now have that freedom, as I leave that part to technology. In this way, I bypass the limitations of handcrafting while still maintaining the same characteristic finish.
Together, the lamps form both a contrast and a fusion. A dialogue between craft and technology, where old and new techniques enhance one another.
