NUI TABLE LAMP
Pulling from the familiar archetype of the cone lampshade but modernizing it with industrial materials and architectural shapes, Nui unites sculpture and function while addressing lighting’s most enduring talent: the ability to transform a space. One of the main goals of this project was to design a lamp that produced a unique and interesting lighting condition simply through its form and material qualities, resulting in an extremely analog approach to lighting design. The simply shaped lampshade is transected by an interchangeable plexiglass bar, providing an unexpected line of color that glows from within and projects outward against a wall. With its ambiguous size, Nui doesn’t mandate a single use-case, and invites users to view it on a credenza, table or floor.
materials: mild steel, acrylic
