FS: What is the most unique aspect of your design?
TS: Flame is a new generation lamp. In it laser light sources are build-in that are used more intensively in the industry and are characterized by the light intensity and a minimal use of electricity. This, together with the elegant design is the starting point of the project. The stylized shape provokes a simulated flame effect and creates a sense of comfort and luxury. The materials for the metal and glass body are fully recyclable, which, together with low energy consumption ranks it among the top of the environmental friendly products.
FS: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?
TS: The study for the design of the lamp went off in three directions. The first direction was to find the best and most innovative light source currently using minimal energy and providing maximum light. Undoubtedly, these are laser lights gaining popularity recently with their powerful LED and laser projection that are more efficient than simple LED lights. The second direction was to find an inspiration for the shape of the lamp that can be used in residential interiors. Because the original source of light and a most important discovery of people is the fire, it is used as a basic form of this lamp. The main idea of the body of the lamp is based on styling of a flame of fire. The third direction is based on a study of the emotional impact caused by shapes of products. It is known that the first impression of a product may not get a second chance, so the design has a specific purpose. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the general area of design and emotions. Based on an extensive research of resent literature and experimental analysis made during my PhD study it was concluded that the shape defined as “Direction movement” evoked intensively pleasant emotions. The main characteristics of this form category consist of using of curved and rounded shaped elements that represent it on the plane and space. The final design decision was made after a combination in the results in these three directions.
