DESIGN NAME: Zip Lamp
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Wall Light
INSPIRATION: The project was realized for a specific place, in a building dating back to 1752. The main task was to find the perfect union of the warm, cozy atmosphere of this historic building with its long history, and a modern restaurant with a distinctive style of cuisine. The wall-mounted fixture is a stylized white cooking hat, as for the construction a zipper is used as a detailed symbol of a unifying element.
