Conic Lamp
Inspired by a simple acorn and the curvature of filaments in a ‘dolly light bulb’, the Conic Lamp reflects the curvature found in Nature and this man-made light.
By day the Conic Lamp is an elegant art work equally at home in a modern residential or commercial setting. By night it transforms into an elliptic light sculpture, using shadow and down light to create curved, nature inspired designs at the lamp’s base
The soft glow of light from the top aperture is intended to anchor the lamp while allowing it to ‘float’ lightly on its base. To achieve this specific result, Gus designed a unique five watt LED array recessed within the top bracket so it is obscured from sight.
In keeping with Gus’s commitment to using only sustainable natural materials for the Conic Lamp, each bracket is machined from 15 mm sustainably grown bamboo.
This design received a Highly Commended at the ECC Student Craft Design Awards of New Zealand for 2018.
