Lamp Prototype for the Cambrian Mountains Wool Design Challenge (in collaboration with Michalis Christophides) Slate, wool-covered Rolaminate, LED lighting system
Cambrian wool, raw slate, Rolaminate and metal – building this lamp led Gabriel and Michalis to explore the qualities of these materials and challenged them to find ways of putting them together. The tactile surfaces of the stone and the weave, which naturally complement each other, are balanced out by high-tech craftsmanship. The custom-made LED-lighting is powerful yet small and energy efficient. And the wool is fused to a laser-cut diffusor which is made from Rolaminate, an innovative laminated textile made from 100% recycled materials. The effortless synergy of natural and man-made, grown and synthetic makes this lamp’s gentle light even more pleasing.
