Prop Floor Lamp by José Leite

Home >




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Prop

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Floor Lamp

INSPIRATION:
This floor lamp was inspired by a construction prop, typically used to support walls or cellings, that can be mounted in an leaning position on a wall, holding it in place. Prop mimics that position, converting it into a lighting possibility and creating a diferent, but elegant, aesthetic.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Prop is a floor lamp that was thought out to be a lighting element that would be diferent from other ilumination produtcs. That diference is the way Prop stands and its relation with the enviorment around it. Although it is refered as a floor lamp, it is not entirely true, since it makes use of a wall for support. This feature, in conjuntion with a vertical frame, enables Prop to ocupy places diferently than other floor lamps.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Prop can occupy any room and was design to be placed on the ground leanning on a wall. It works especially well on small spaces and corners that need lighting. The lamp is turned on and off via a foot switch located in electric cable.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
November 2013 to January 2014, PORTO/PORTUGAL

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Lighting Products and Fixtures Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Structure in lacquered wood, lampshade reinforced fabric on steel wire structure. Mounting brackets of lamps in sheet metal with protective ring in case of a fall or accidental impact.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Two lamps mounted in a varnished wood structure with dimensions 1839 x 22 x 22 mm and fabric lampshade with dimensions 1200 x 330 base diameter 180 top diameter mm. Rubber feet at the contact points with the wall and floor.

TAGS:
Prop, floor, wall, lamp, simple, minimal, lighting, ilumination

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
This product was first created in a miniature so that the angle of the main rod could be calculated in relation to the full length of the rod. This influenced the positioning of the lampshade and therefore was necessary to create simple protections for the lamps inside, so that the lampshade could not hit and break them during transport.

CHALLENGE:
Since the main feature was the way Prop leans on the wall, there was a challenge calculating the angle of the main rod and the inclination on the wall to improve the support of the lamp, so that at the same time the lampshade remains stable orthogonal with the floor.
