RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The researching process was to find a solution for these heavy materials that i had in my hands, to make a beautiful light. The Idea came when i was working on my motorbike, heavy materials but organic forms.
I tried it all, small, tall, standing and hanging until i found the perfekt fit. The eksperiment was how to make the form after i had design it. It was the Exhaust from a motorbikes that the chains could be formed after. The next one was how to make the wood perfect as a long ball, where the light bulb was going to be in. I drawed it in a 3D program Rhino, and then laser cut it into 2mm rings that i glued together. I spray the chain SHINY WHITE and the last thing putting the lamp together with a red fabrik wire.
CHALLENGE: The perfect form..
