The Big Moon blue lamp x Juraj Hubinský
Nuuk lamps are handmade lamps with a unique character and personality. They are made to be a conversation piece and a focal point in a space. Made with love and a sustainable approach. The lamp is handmade from jesmonite – a stone-like material. Each piece is unique. The porcelain bulb can be dimmed but it can reach up to 680 lumens which is enough lighting for reading a book. Dimming is flicker-free, smooth and pleasant.
This original piece was created in collaboration with the painter Juraj Hubinský. The design was created by a long process of gradual evaporation of the paint with water, by which the author wanted to manifest on-going climate change which also impacts the state of our groundwater. The author want to emphasize the declining levels of groundwater, the low incidence of precipitation and high evaporation caused by gradual changes of climate. The work was created without the intervention of the author, who let the paint and water evaporate at a natural pace in the environment. This caused a subtle layering and writing of the current colour level on the lamp body.
