This project explores the junction between ceramics and metal using industrial pressing methods. It highlights the interaction between these two materials, challenging the conventional notion of ceramics as fragile. By pushing the boundaries of their relationship. I transform this synergy into innovative lighting fixtures.
The connection between the materials reflects a technological approach, press methods in ceramics and aluminum. These objects are crafted with precision, with careful attention to the material's finish and appearance, highlighting the glossy ceramic glaze and the polished aluminum finish.
This ceiling piece consists of 31 porcelain bodies that are pressure connected into the aluminum body, with each porcelain body receiving an LED lamp inside for full brightness, designed as a central lighting fixture, it adds a unique character to unconventional spaces.
The second piece is a wall-mounted fixture composed of two porcelain forms connected to an aluminum base under pressure. The lamp appears to float, giving it a lighter presence while creating a soft glow that radiates around it.
Process
The work process was captivating, exploring unique and creative ways to combine ceramic and metal. It involved a deep dive into the technique I developed and the distinct formal language that emerged, capturing sketches and countless experiments along the way.
