STONE KENETIC LAMP, 2022
STONE KENETIC LAMP, 2022
Galerie SORS. is pleased to offer the Stone Kenetic lighting sculpture designed by Jan Garncerak in cooperation with Granity Skwara company / 2022
The lamp is an effect of the designer's search for new, unique design paths which resulted in an object qualified as conceptual design. The designer aimed to create a work that would surprise with its scale, unusual combo of materials and extraordinary usage. Although it sheds light, the design doesn't resemble anything defined as a 'lamp'. Rather, it enables the user to perceive design and interior planning from a new perspective.
The designer's decision to experiment with the object's scale, weight and movement results in their unprecedented utility. The result is a marble stone with a cut surface in which a brass ring is placed. When touched, a cylinder that slides out of the stone. The cylinder has walls made from glass that casts warm light. When touched again the light turns off and the cylinder retreats. Usage of the object is out of the ordinary. The size and weight of the lamp may seem ungrounded. Being in it's presence is a completely new, almost surrealistic experience.
The key collaborator of the project was Granity Skwara company that supported the designer in the choice of stone and its processing.
