studio inbetween: one piece of lamp

‘one piece of lamp’ by studio inbetween – hanging wooden veneer aircraft plywood version

conceived in a rather unique manner, the multi-purpose ‘one piece of lamp’ by helsinki-based designer lee kiseung of studio inbetween, takes a thin layer of plywood panel and slices interval patterns using a rolling press, where the material properties can then extend and contract. thanks to characteristics given to the sheet from this process, the two-dimensional artifact can then change its overall shade size as it assembles with another module.

depending on the length of each pattern or component size, it reflects on its overall lamp shape or extension limit. from this, the lighting piece utilizes the fragility of the wooden veneer to define its structural resolution. as each produced object maintains its original manufacturing method, the application of various materials such as PVC, PET or carbon paper can be further implemented.
