for Kartell

To commemorate the tenth anniversary of its iconic Bourgie table lamp, Italian plastic furniture specialist Kartell invited ten designers associated with the company to create tribute pieces for a special exhibition. For our contribution, we decided to work with two of the lamp’s most distinctive characteristics – its use of silhouettes and its transparency – rather than touching the original design itself. We created a new table lamp by inverting and rotating the Bourgie lamp’s silhouette., so that when two of the new lamps are lined up together,the space between them forms the upside-down silhouette of the Bourgie lamp.Because our homage inverts both the lamp’s figure-ground relationship and our regular sense of up and down, we named the lamp ‘Eigruob’.

为了纪念其标志性的Bourgie台灯十周年，意大利塑料家具专家Kartell邀请了与公司相关的十位设计师为一个特别的展览创作致敬作品。对于我们的贡献，我们决定使用灯的两个最独特的特点-轮廓的使用和它的透明度-而不是触摸原始的设计本身。通过翻转和旋转Bourgie灯的轮廓，我们创造了一个新的台灯。这样，当两盏新灯排列在一起时，它们之间的空间就形成了Bourgie灯的倒立轮廓。因为我们的有意颠倒了灯的图形-基础关系和我们常规意义上的上下关系，所以我们将这盏灯命名为“Eigruob”。
