Definitely a highlight within the past week has been visiting both the Kartel and Artemide museums. Coincidently, both these fabulous visits included a multitude of lights for me to sketch and detail. One of my favorite pieces was the plastic lamp that we saw at Kartell, I was fascinated by its design that incorporated a vintage structure but was modernized through the plastic material. As I mentioned in my sketchbook, what I loved about the use of plastic was that the way the plastic was formed makes the pieces appear like glass. At Artemide, I found the technology put behind the variety of lamps really intriguing to learn about. In specific, there was a specific technology shown to us during the presentation which detailed how it could be possible to send wifi through a lamp. Overall, the theme at Artemide was creating lighting that could be something more than a simple lamp in their use. Having the opportunity to see the step by step creation of these pieces in the factory was simply amazing. (As a fan of How its made, I felt like I was stepping through the tv screen in an episode of How its Made: Lamps)
