TA-KE 2
This family of floor lamps originated after the exhibition “Cheerfully optimistic about the future”, presented at the Fondazione ICA in Milan in September 2021. The idea was to produce a simplified unlimited version of the lights that carries the sophistication and craftsmanship with which the limited edition works were made. The result is an arrangement of beautifully crafted bamboo poles placed on a metal base, creating a structure that holds a linear bulb. The bulb is supported with a series of wire springs that wrap around the poles, suspended equidistant from them.

“I have always been intrigued by bamboo as a material and by its ability to grow in an almost perfectly straight line. I am fascinated by the thought of using it in exactly the way it grows naturally by simply cutting it at the moment it reaches its required diameter. I love the idea that I could use it without any industrial processing, by simply defining a series of parameters to determine my selection and cutting process. The project is essentially an exercise of negotiation with nature.”
