Interview about The Home Lamp, winner of the A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award 2022
Creating a deeper connection between man and home is the conceptual goal of design. The use of copper metal, which inherently creates feels relaxed, is due to this concept. The user can control the light of the lamp with each touch of copper metal. The designer has been looking for deeper interaction with the lamp. four houses as a sign of the four main elements of life and soft and warm light which is in the center of them as a sign of consciousness, the type of light and shadow resulting from its combination with houses creates a feeling of Poetically space.

View Design DetailsThe touch-sensitive dimming system in The Home Lamp evolved through our exploration of copper’s conductive properties, seamlessly blending functionality and artistry. By leveraging copper’s natural responsiveness, we eliminated external controls, preserving the lamp’s sculptural purity. This innovation creates an intuitive interaction, reflecting our aim to redefine lighting as an integral, almost organic element of human environments.
Our architectural background heavily influenced The Home Lamp, symbolizing the dialogue between modernity and tradition. The concrete base represents industrial modernity, while the copper houses evoke warmth and intimacy. This juxtaposition mirrors the essence of architecture: balancing utility with meaning, reminding us that homes are more than structures—they are spaces for human existence and connection.
Incorporating the four elements of nature with light as a core symbol emerged from our belief that design should transcend function. Light, representing awareness, illuminates the interconnection between man and nature. The Home Lamp merges spirituality and utility, inspiring users to see beyond the object’s physicality and reflect on the harmony of natural and human-made worlds.
The material contrast between warm copper and cold concrete reflects the duality of contemporary living—balancing warmth and utility. The copper evokes the intimacy of traditional homes, while the concrete symbolizes the rigidity of modern life. This interplay captures the tension in today’s architecture: creating spaces that balance human needs with structural efficiency.
Our exploration of human consciousness, space, and light shaped The Home Lamp’s form. The integration of light as a central, spiritual element encapsulates our vision of architecture and lighting as a means to enhance awareness. Winning the A' Design Award validated this pursuit, proving that design can resonate deeply on both functional and conceptual levels.
Developing custom electronics for The Home Lamp posed challenges in maintaining both sculptural integrity and intuitive functionality. The seamless integration of dimming technology into the copper structure required innovative engineering, ensuring the lamp’s visual and tactile interaction harmonized with its minimalist aesthetic.
Balancing The Home Lamp’s artistic essence with practical lighting was central to our design. By focusing on scale, materiality, and light diffusion, we ensured it functions as a lamp while standing as an architectural sculpture. This duality blurs boundaries, inviting users to engage with light as both utility and art.
Our research revealed that lighting deeply influences the emotional and spatial experience of homes. The Home Lamp reflects this connection, symbolizing human presence and consciousness. Its design encourages users to perceive light not merely as illumination but as a medium that shapes space and fosters emotional warmth.
The lamp’s rotation aligning with the sun embodies a connection between natural and artificial light, reminding users of their place in the universe. This astronomical alignment bridges indoor and outdoor environments, symbolizing the cyclical rhythm of life and fostering a harmonious coexistence between technology and nature.
The Home Lamp’s success inspires us to explore the intersection of light, architecture, and human experience further. It demonstrates how thoughtful design can transcend boundaries, influencing future creations to prioritize human connection, environmental harmony, and aesthetic innovation in lighting and architecture.
