Milano, Italy
Yack Humberto Di Maio and Sofia Duarte Poblete of Krill Design have designed Ohmie The Orange Lamp, designed to be a long-lasting decor item, but also able to be discarded sustainably with your organic waste.
Ohmie The Orange Lamp addresses the problem of over-exploitation of natural resources by transforming a product, often mistaken as waste – orange peels – into a valuable material.
Ohmie The Orange Lamp has been awarded a 2022 Good Design Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
It is the first lamp of its kind, as its rich color and texture transform orange scraps into sleek, natural lines and surfaces that offer a distinct design and ambiance, but also tell the story of its origin, evoking nature’s memories and sensations.
Ohmie is much more than a product: it is the symbol of a much-needed renewal that brings greater synergy with nature into everyone’s lives, without having to compromise on aesthetics or quality.
Through research, the designers have developed this new innovative material.
From the union of orange peels and a biopolymer base, a velvety and robust material is born, which is 100% natural and compostable and preserves a strong memory of its origin.
Ohmie is designed in synergy with nature, to offer you a unique experience.
From the orange peel texture of the outer surface to the subtle layers of 3D printing and its smell, Ohmie takes us on a journey through the senses.
Made from a single body, Ohmie is specially designed to use as little material as possible, be as light as its ecological footprint, and have a perfectly angled beam to illuminate your workspace.
Functional details include a light beam at the perfect angle to light up the working area, a dimmable switch to cater to everyone’s needs, and the delicate scent of orange.
