Wether it be Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon, or what tells us which elements are in our galaxies, PRISM’s are fundamental, and recognizable.
The PRISM lamp was inspired by nature. Science and humans know every element ever existing in our galaxy or the next, because of the prism. The basis of light, the paradox of physics.
The lamp was constructed using scandinavian joinery with the shape of the prism staying true both for the base and the shade. The contrast of the metal and wood is a way to express how a prism changes the nature of light; in this case lighting up the steel with warm light to blend into the wood base.
The design has a switch system designed with magnets. The magnets connect between positive and negative hemispheres to turn the lamp on.
