ORIGEN

“Experimenting with concrete and light”

CONCRETE, WOOD AND ONE KNOT

Origen was the result of an experiment where we were playing with concrete, wood and light. The main idea was using a cone where different shades could be placed. Those shades could be presented in different sizes, colors and materials. By this way, different lamps could be created.

This structure would also allow the possibility of using LEDs and bulbs. On both cases, the main elements would be the same: The wood cone, the shade, the cable and the electronic components.

Minimal concrete lamps

JUST A KNOT

The cable goes down through the wood cone and it makes a knot which hold the whole lamp. Then, the cable goes back into the shade to connect the LEDs.

EXPERIMENTING

This was just an experiment to test different ideas. These type of projects are always interesting because there is no limitations and goals, so the result is not as important as the process itself. In addition, some of the knowledge from these experiments are later used on different projects.
