OBJ-03 IS BORN FROM A SHEET OF PAPER, A GESTURE, A CUT AND A FOLD. 

THE CUT, ONCE FOLDED, ALLOWS THE SHEET TO STAND ON ITS OWN, WITHOUT FALLING, AND IN TURN SERVES AS A SCREEN TO RECEIVE THE LIGHT. THE LED STRIPE IS HIDDEN ON THE BACK AND CONTAINED IN A SOLID STEEL BAR. THE WEIGHT OF THIS PART IS ESSENTIAL TO GIVE STABILITY TO THE LAMP. THUS, ALL THE PARTS FULFILL AN INDISPENSABLE FUNCTION FOR THE OBJECT.

MY IDEA WAS TO DESIGN A LAMP WITH THE MINIMUM POSSIBLE ELEMENTS AND A SINGLE MATERIAL, STEEL. THE LAMP IS COMPOSED OF A SQUARE OF 18 GAUGE SHEET METAL AND ON ITS BACK, A SOLID MACHINED STEEL BAR THAT CONTAINS THE LED LIGHTING. I DECIDED TO OXIDIZE THE ENTIRE LAMP TO MAKE IT MATTE SO THAT THE LIGHT REFLECTION WOULD BE SOFT AND DIFFUSED.
