The designer aimed to create an object that would surprise with its scale, unusual combo of materials and extraordinary usage. Even though it sheds light the design doesn’t resemble anything defined as ‘lamp’. It enables the user to perceive design and interior planning from new perspective. Designer decided to experiment with the object’s scale, weight and movement and used them in unprecedented way. The result is a marble stone with a cut surface in which a brass ring is placed. When touched it turns out to be a cylinder that slides out of the stone. The cylinder has walls made from glass that casts warm light. When touched again the light turns off and the cylinder slides back in. Usage of the object is out of the ordinary. The size and weight of the lamp may seem ungrounded.
