"In this case, it hasn’t been designed a new lamp, but a new context.
The result is a new type of lamp carachterised by the surrealistic and magic of the relationship between the archetype of desk lamp and the water.
"
Héctor Serrano
A lamp to be used in the water: swimming pools, fountains, or lakes. The lamp is kept off during the day facing down outside the swimming pool, at nigh it’s thrown into the water floating facing up in the on position. Produced in rotation-moulded polythene, it’s waterproof and water-resistant and it’s powered by a rechargeable battery, which will last for up to six hours. The project deals with the importance of the context and plays with our preconceived perception of daily objects.
