Flame Pendant Lamp

The inspiration behind the Flame pendant lamp came from a sculpture, made from a slab of clay and cut into a cube. Four corners were twisted clockwise while the other four were twisted counter-clockwise. The Flame lamp is designed with this symmetry in mind, but on a much more intricate scale.

The interesting facets of light and shadow are made possible by Materialise's rapid prototyping technique. Instead of using paper and ink, digital designs are "printed" with a laser, adding layer upon layer until a beautifully complex object is formed. Using this technique, the doors of possibility are opened and the artist's imagination is the limit, allowing for such a perfectly crafted and mathematically balanced ornament.
