DESIGN NAME: Girdsuze
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Lamp
INSPIRATION: Girdsuze design is inspired by the old oil lamps which are called Gerdsooz in Persian. The purpose of Girdsuze is to keep old memories alive in nowadays living spaces and create the sense of nostalgia in modern homes. Girdsuze spreads a gentle ray of light with infinite intensity steps, just like old lamps, but with electricity instead of oil.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Girdsuze is a lighting with built-in dimmer switch which is simply controlled by spinning the glass tube, making an intuitive way to control the light intensity, just like old fire-based oil lamps. It can be used in bedroom or living room and with the adjustable light, you can meet your various needs and desires. While being completely functional, Girdsuze is also a unique artwork.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Girdsuze is equipped with a dimmable LED bulb which is connected to the glass tube. By rotating the glass tube, the light is turned on and with further rotation to the left, light intensity is gradually increased. Rotating the tube back to right decreases the light intensity until it is turned off with a click sound.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in April 2019 and finished in July 2019 at Ritoon design studio in Tehran.
