Interview with Osmose le bois Sas at Friday 27th of February 2015 FS: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design? OS: The final design of the lamp shows itself once the assembly is done : its shape of corolla (such the calyx of a tulip), the disk, the various blades (sepals) and the bulb (pistil) which compose it are directly inspired by the botanical Universe and by the vegetable Kingdom. FS: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve? OS: The main focus was to create an original lamp which allows a mixed and variable concealed lighting that breathes a warm and radiant atmosphere. FS: What are your future plans for this award winning design? OS: This object is not a prototype anymore and we launched it last december. We are expecting news cooperation's mode to make our product accessible to the largest number. FS: How long did it take you to design this particular concept? OS: It took us about 4-5 months to design this particular concept (the lamp Calyx). FS: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration? OS: We decided to pursuit an inspiration (this product is sold on our eshop). FS: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself? OS: For now, we intent to produce our work ourself. Things might be different for the future. FS: What made you design this particular type of work? OS: This particular type of work is especially well adapted for our CNC equipment which allows a precise (nesting), reproducible and fast manufacturing. FS: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?
