About Magic Lampada da tavolo
Magic è una lampada da tavolo ispirata alla forma naturale del fungo Liberty Cap. Il paralume è stampato in 3D con plastica di origine vegetale e la luce che filtra attraverso di esso mette in risalto le linee concentriche a spirale lasciate dal processo di stampa. Anche le lamelle simili a quelle di un fungo, poste sotto la testa, sono realizzate in stampa 3D. Lo stelo e la base sono intagliati a mano in legno duro di provenienza locale, così ogni pezzo è unico. Tre livelli di luminosità si selezionano tramite un dimmer a sfioramento nascosto nella base. La lampada misura 150 per 150 per 650 millimetri.

- Research
- After picking this mushroom in the fields of South Bohemia, the designer experienced its 'magical' psychedelic effects. The mushrooms appeared to him to glow and pulsate with a kind of 'life force'. He decided to capture this experience by using its form as a lamp design, the electricity and light bringing it to life. To create this the designer aimed to innovatively combine 3D printing technology with the hand crafted wooden form so the entire piece could be produced in house, with ecological materials. Research and experimentation were carried out in his workshop and with design software.
- Inspiration
- The natural form of the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata) a potent psychedelic mushroom inspired this design. Scientists have been recently discovering the powerful healing potential of this mushroom, and they are increasingly being used therapeutically around the world. As it's significance to our human experience becomes ever more understood, the form of this mushroom becomes more recognizable, carries more meaning, and deserves attention.
- Project Duration
