Being Lamp

Being Lamp

Being Lamp is an innovative lighting fixture that exemplifies sustainable design through the creative repurposing of discarded fir tree stumps, transforming them into functional art pieces that serve both as ambient lighting solutions and potential seating elements. The design, conceived and crafted by Italian designer Cecilia Pozzi, draws its inspiration from the natural patterns and textures found in cross-sectioned tree stumps, featuring a sophisticated hollow core that extends upward from the base, maintaining a 100-millimeter thickness at the top. The lamp's distinctive characteristic lies in its thoughtfully executed random cuts along the circumference, creating varied dimensions that produce unique light diffusion patterns. This versatile piece, which can be customized to various heights up to 500 millimeters and widths up to 400 millimeters, demonstrates exceptional versatility in both indoor and outdoor settings, depending on the specific wood treatment applied. The design incorporates a clever internal bridge system that serves both as a mount for the light source and structural support for the stump, solving technical challenges while maintaining aesthetic integrity. The lamp, which earned recognition with a Golden A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, represents a significant achievement in sustainable design, showcasing how reclaimed materials can be elevated into sophisticated design objects while preserving their natural character and adding functional value.
