Project is shortlisted 2022/23
The Callister floor lamp takes dimensional inspiration from Le Corbusier’s Vitruvian Man, with the control knob at the stomach and the head at the top of the marble disk. The intention of this floor lamp was twofold. First, to serve as an accent design object that can indirectly cast light into the space it is in. We opted for a gold-coated bulb that casts its light backward toward the gold plate and marble disk to do this. This allows the light to bounce forward into the room while the openings on either side of the plate also allow light to spill backward behind the lamp. Our second goal was to make the marble top appear lighter than it is by making the body/post of the light seem thin. In this case, we chose the stacking of acrylic rods around a gold aluminum center post. This allows you to see the post behind while the rods give a sense of airiness yet add a bit of thickness to allow the proportions to work out.
