Golden A' Design Award Winner 2024
A contemporary product photograph presents three floor lamps standing upright against warm wood paneling, arranged in a loose grouping that moves from left to right across the frame. Scanning from left to right, the first lamp displays a deep black color like charcoal or ink, its surface absorbing light with a soft matte quality. The second lamp, positioned slightly behind and between the others, reveals warm brown wood with visible grain patterns flowing vertically along its tapered body, reminiscent of honey or amber held to light. The third lamp appears in a soft green shade like sage leaves or celadon pottery, cool and fresh against the surrounding warmth. Each lamp shares the same elegant form: a circular weighted base approximately the size of a dinner plate, from which rises a tall slender stem tapering gently as it ascends to roughly standing height. At the top, a small cylindrical light head, about the length of a hand, grips the stem through a curved embracing mechanism that wraps partway around the vertical element. The background consists of tall rectangular wood panels with pronounced vertical grain patterns in golden-brown tones, creating a warm envelope of color that echoes the central wooden lamp. A narrow strip of pale textured wall appears at far right, providing tonal relief. The floor beneath is smooth polished concrete in cool gray, its surface reflecting subtle light variations. Soft daylight enters from the upper right, casting gentle shadows from each lamp base onto the concrete, the shadows stretching leftward with soft diffused edges. The overall atmosphere feels calm and measured, suggesting a refined interior space where thoughtful design objects await purposeful use.
The Grampo Lamp makes use of brazilian wood fibers' natural flexibility, enabling it to bend, clip, or detach the light spot, converting it into a battery-powered flashlight that recharges while clipped in the stand. This design showcases the material's inherent characteristics and a commitment to sustainable sourcing. This project combines traditional woodworking with advanced manufacturing, including 3D printing. Grampo Lamp is inspired by the rich tradition of Brazilian wood design, yet it integrates functionalities that are only available in contemporary times.
