Vij5 Malda

Description

The flexible material is cut into shape, simply rolled around an aluminium frame and then fixed with an aluminium band. In this way, a three-dimensionally shaped lampshade is constructed from a flat surface, using only a few simple manufacturing operations. The linoleum used for this lamp comes from waste streams from the furniture industry. Malda was designed by Studio PESI, a South Korean design studio founded by Byounghwi Jeon. He developed this lamp to explore a new method in which he wanted to construct a three-dimensionally shaped lamp using only some basic manufacturing processes. Malda literally 'wears' a piece of material as a lampshade, giving a stage to its different colours and material properties.
