Prospect Floor Lamp
Description:
The Prospect Lamps (Table/Floor) are the latest additions to our “This is Copper” series. The series explores our everyday materials – more specifically, copper – through an investigation of the material traces that are created in the wake of its production.
Copper is essential for the transition to a more sustainable, electrified future. But what exactly is copper? The shiny metal we all know is only part of a much wider material story. This piece combines different by-products from the mining and refining process, aiming to draw attention to the complexities and nuances inherent to the production of the sought-after metal.
The base of the lamp, its foundation, is made of the waste by-product from the refining process - slag. Slag is the molten impurities cast aside during the smelting process and can be transformed into a cement-like material. Above the slag, hover the lampshades made of polished and patinated copper.
Materials: Copper slag geopolymer, coppper, acrylic diffusor, lightbulb, textile cable
Dimensions: 46 x 27 x 137 cm (LxWxH)
