Known as the alchemist of light, Jordi Canudas presents a new lighting fixture, the Dipping Light, a colored glass sphere is an object charged with beauty, and eye-catching design piece for a shelf, bedside, or table.
The designer experiments with light, seeking always to be surprised and learn from it trying to capture its essence.
With this goal in mind, the Dipping Light was created as yet another experiment – dipping a lit bulb into paint several times – with the end result of this table lamp.
The Dipping Light has recently won a 2024 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and Global Design News.
The various layers of paint draw concentric circles and capture the light, moderating its intensity.
The paint becomes the shade, colouring and texturizing the light. A brass o graphite base is added for support.
This artisanal process will make each lamp a unique and exclusive creation.
The table version doesn’t settle for just two sizes: the most poetic of lamps offers more uses and comes in a stand-alone portable version and with another diameter – ø20 cm – halfway between the small and the large versions.
There is also a choice of finish for the base between brushed brass and graphite, while the colours of the bulb remain the same.
