DESIGN NAME: Ring
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Table Lamp
INSPIRATION: Its circular and symmetrical form resembled a headphone.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Recycled materials, that were once used for many different industries,
were given new shapes and combined together to give light.Our design emerged as a reaction to natural resources being depleted by the never-ending need of technology. The wooden parts of the design reflects the nature and tradition while the two twisted metal parts represent time. The metal cage, that these metals parts merge into, is used to remind us how technology traps the world and thus humanity like a bird in a cage. Nevertheless, the design also gives hope to humanity that all is not lost by implementing a light inside this cage.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The form and use of warm materials improve the work environment by giving a sense of nature.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in June 2014 in Istanbul and finished in July in Istanbul
