Feather light, lamp
The Feather Light lamp utilizes an available, yet unused, raw material: marble offcuts accumulated over time in the agency's sample library.
Designed as a ready-made, the lamp is composed of a collection of marbles from different origins and pieces sourced in New York's South East Village, in the electricians' district. The materials used are raw and unfinished. The layering of the marble slabs provides sufficient counterweight to support the lamp's slender arm. Multiple articulation options allow the user to adapt it to the ergonomics of their workspace.
Veined, speckled, mottled, and striated: the geographical diversity of the marbles creates the originality of the composition, presented here in a range of green hues. Rotating each marble slab individually around a central axis allows the lamp's appearance to be altered. In this project, which is both minimal and radical, marble is no longer just aesthetic; it becomes functional and structural.
