Bella di Notte PRODUCT PROJECT MATERICUBO Free University of Bolzano • Bozen Faculty of Design and Art Project: Atelierprojekte WS 2010-11 Student: Liviana Osti Technologies and Work Systems: prof. Gianpietro Gai
Starting by a 8cm x 8cm cube, I had a material typology assigned. Studying the qualities of, in my case, metal, I had to develop an object with an intelligent function related to the characteristics of material. So I chose the flexibility and strength of metal and the capability to reflect the light, and I made a lamp. The closed lamp is a metal cube 8 x 8 and it serves as packaging itself, as the lightbulb and the cable are prepacked inside. As one opens it, the lamp transforms itself, like a flower, and the user can decide the best form. The lamp can be hanged from the ceiling, on the wall, or just put on the table. The light reflection can also be moderated: the user can decide to let more light out or to close the lamp and let less light come out.
