| DESIGN NAME: L16 Lighting Series PRIMARY FUNCTION: Hanging lamp INSPIRATION: Born from the idea to develop not only a unique design object further more to create an object which i can produce in a small batch by myself. Based on my experiences with my layered objects and the materials like acrylic glas i used before in form and color, in interaction with light sources and illumination of the same, was the development of a limited luminaire series very close to me. From the beginning, i was fascinated by the different lighting moods and reflections, which can be produced with different colors of acrylic glass. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: One lamp, many colors, several facets. The L16 Series with its special properties, which illuminate every home with their unique lighting mood and make your living space come alive in a new light. A decorative lamp for mood lighting how you want it. The L16 creates an indirect, comfortable lighting around it through the combination of different colors of acrylic glas. The lamp creates a particularly distinctive light effect in its surroundings. A ray of hope in the homely, comfortable ambience. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The L16 series stands for a decorative as well as a comfortable lighting ambience and ensures an individual lighting mood depending on the composition. A limited edition of lights designed for your Personalized Lighting mood. You can create your very own and personal lighting mood what suits you best. It is not only a lamp which ensures that your room get lit up, further more it wants to be an unique object which has the purpose to function also without to turn on the lights.

The lighting Series L16 was exhibited in Stilwerk, Große Elbstraße 68, 22767 Hamburg in November of 2016 FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Lighting Products and Fixtures Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The design comes from my straightforward design thinking in general. From the beginning, as graffiti artist in the 90´s, i was not much interested in round forms at all, in my way to create things. I was interested in straight lines and what i can achieve with it. And this is how it is still today. The form itself, evolved from the idea to have a very simple object which one is able to play and interact with the light effects of the illuminated edges from the acrylic glas. A square, circle was to simple, so my objective was in between these two forms. It has to be as simple as possible in form and function in cooperation with the production and project requirements which ones are given. The single parts of the lamp are lasercuted by a production company near my workspace. The wiring is made by a specialist also around of my workspace. And in the end it comes all together in my place where i assemble and polish it by hand to the final product. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimensions: Width 380 mm x Depth 380 mm x Height 260 mm, Identifier: L16 Serie, Lampshade: Acrylic glas, Socket: E27 Bakelite, Wiring: Textile, Mounting: Steel cable with hook, Power supply: 230 Volt, Weight: 2 kg Recommended light source: E27 LED Globe, 780 lm, 2700 K warm white TAGS: Lighting, lamp, comfortable lighting, lamp shade, decorative lamp, ambience, indirect lighting, individual lighting, personal mood, feel good RESEARCH ABSTRACT: How reacts acrylic glass as material itself, with different colors with a concentrated light source. Which is the best acrylic glass (PMMA, XT, GS) in consideration to durability, resistance to light and the production itself. What lamp holder fits best my needs in the design and production, is it available on the market, do i have to create one on my own. What is the best wiring, materials, colors and safety in consideration on the weight. Form of the lamp, competitors with acrylic glass in the field of lighting, material, legal restrictions in context of safeness in general and electricity, distribution and what is necessary to sell them. From the beginning of the creation a very good friend of mine was involved to evaluate the prototypes and the effects which i came across with the different shapes, colors and materials. Bright and very special effects on ceiling and walls, like from a window in the church up to more reduced effects and a way more comfortable lighting ambience in the room take place in form of the evolution from the first prototype to the final product. CHALLENGE: From the beginning the focus was to have as less production stations as possible. I started to thing about how all the single acrylic glass lamellae fit and hold together. I tried to develop a system which one allows me to put the single lamellae on the center ring which is connected to the lamp and socket holder. From the idea to have a system in which a single lamellae can be easily removed up to a more robust and fixed one. The obstacles in this process i was confronted with was the flexibility and susceptibility to breaking of the acrylic glass and the different thicknesses. From a (only) push together situation with the acrylic lamellae, a Click system up to the final version with a second ring on the top and bottom to fixate the lamellae like a locking system.
