The "Cashew" Lamp

In The "Cashew" Lamp, the casted heavy base brings severity to the piece. The traces of the heat, fire and human force applied to it are visible. The hammered surface, the intertwined lumps and cavities of the shiny yet worn out aluminium could very well be part of a meteorite. In contrast, the top shade shines in an elusive non-traditional way. The light moves around the shade unpredictably. The two sources at each end or indirect LED base lighting question traditional ways of one-axis design. The “Cashew” ultimately, is both organic and minera, male and female, old and new, friendly and severe, and it is from this where its magic comes from, the fact that even after a while, it brings new meaning and interest to what a lamp can be. This piece has attracted the interest of many in it’s early stages of construction and will be soon out of manufacture. The final designs are kept private to each client and will become soon a token of design to stand out through the years.
