Young designer Bartek Mejor designed suspension lamp CYCLONE for the 'Polish Design Focus' event which took place in Berlin during the DMY fair 2013. In this occasion, the designer managed to win the annual prize for the best design. Pendant lamp CYCLONE is the result of a research regarding porcelain products and the tactile aspects of ceramic; the purpose was to create a soft yet well-defined object. The round shape of the lamp shows the movement of the fluid ceramic thrown in space. The result is a vortex, frozen at the right moment, reminding us of natural forces such as hurricanes or cyclones. Or as one might simple conclude: a dot of whipped cream. Manual work and sketches, along with advanced technologies and software solutions, helped Bartek Mejor obtain the ideal shape for this lamp. However, the final details were perfected through a hand-made plaster model. Mejor claims that it is exciting to work with such an antique and traditional material like ceramic; exploiting innovative technologies to give it unique shapes is the perfect balance between craftsmanship and modern production. As a designer maker, Mejor conceived an exceptional yet functional object. Italian design label Fabbian will produce CYCLONE in one size, its light direct. Electrification on mains voltage for LED.
