PRIMARY FLUORESCENTS
Square12 + 2 AP + 1 PT
The Primary Fluorescent lights combine the fluorescent nature of light-creating gasses with primary geometric forms. Among these, the square form is designed for surface placement due to its flat base.
These lights challenge preconceived notions, a design philosophy present from the initial 2012 prototypes to the 2016 final versions. The materials used often possess a deceptive nature.
The initial inspiration stemmed from packaging foam, specifically one type mimicking marble. This sparked the idea of using such materials to solve design challenges, particularly those involving the combination of hard and fragile elements. The layered construction of the foam prototypes proved to be a key takeaway, with each layer serving a distinct purpose within the design. Foam facilitated the creation of the desired shapes and the development of precise, cost-effective moulds for the final aluminum versions.
Aluminum was ultimately selected for several reasons. The lost wax casting method allowed for extremely accurate reproductions of the foam moulds, preserving every detail. Furthermore, the aluminum, as utilized in these lights, shares a visual similarity with stone or concrete, echoing the foam prototypes' marble-like appearance. It also maintains a similar size-to-weight ratio as marble, further paying tribute to the initial prototypes. The result is a unique collection of lights, including the square form, that juxtapose lightness and heaviness, fragility and resilience.
