Michael Jasinski - Bordlampe - S1 Perle - Biopolymer

Inspired by the intertwined patterns of brain coral, this lamp brings
the captivating beauty of the underwater world into your home.

The design features reaction-diffusion patterns that mimic the natural
growth processes that create coral’s hypnotic textures. the used
algorithm captures the interplay of different chemical morphogens
spreading and reacting, similar to how coral polyps gradually build
their calcium carbonate structures.

While our lampshades captivate with their visual appeal, they also carry
a deeper message, serving as a gentle reminder of how our lifestyle
choices influence the environment.

Inspired by the fascinating natural phenomenon of coral bleaching, the
lampshade design embodies the resilience and potential for recovery
found in these delicate organisms.

When corals experience stress, such as warm water temperatures, they
expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn
completely white. However, by restoring optimal conditions, these
resilient organisms can often recover.

The lamp becomes a quiet catalyst for positive change, encouraging
individuals to reflect on their own habits and make choices that support
a more sustainable future.

The lampshade is made of a shiny, pearlescent, white corn starch-based
biopolymer and is biodegradable according to ISO 14855. It can be easily
separated from the base of the lamp thanks to its magnetic connection
and is robust and waterproof, making it easy to clean. The lamp is
equipped with an E14 lamp socket and an extra warm white,
energy-efficient LED.
