is a designer specialized in the impact of light on circadian rhythms. Together we decided to combine our two worlds to create the Eclipse Lamp, a walnut lamp with a mechanical brass system to reflect the light source into space. 

​

In the age of the Anthropocene, our relationship with living things is put into perspective. How can the micro communicate with the macro ? How can we perceive our surroundings by making the invisible visible ? 

​

With the Eclipse lamp, we wanted to bring together two worlds: mechanical and organic. Two apparently opposed relationships to the world.

 

Using a principle of mirror reflection, the lamp's lighting draws a crescent moon, materialising the surface of the brass disc through the light. The light reveals microscopic flaws, invisible to the naked eye but very much there.

 

It's like a magnifying glass on the surface of the visible, repositioning our relationship with the world.
