martin neuhaus: becherlicht
‘becherlicht’ by martin neuhaus image © designboom
designer martin neuhaus has designed ‘becherlicht’ a cup light which functions as a wall luminaire. the light throws three-dimensional colored shadows onto the wall. neuhaus always wanted the old classic lampshade to have an ‘aha!’ factor. who would have thought a cup? a bit of an optical illusion, when the light is in ‘off’ mode, it appears to be absolutely nothing.
the project is on show in the ‘tatorte – design braucht täter’ (crime scenes – design needs perpetrators) exhibition as part of the passagen program of imm cologne 2010.

please, oh please oh please, let this light have a user design element in it, if it allows you to place anything in that holder, looks pretty small to me, then it is great. If not they have scored a major own goal there.
Im sorry but the point is lost on me. So you get a ‘lamp’ on the wall, but the thing creating the lamp is a cup and a light? And that looks attractive…eh, no.
