Pour Me a Glass of Light - Yanko Design
(de)low-cal is a projection that reinterprets the concept of light as we know it. What does it mean when yous can pour illuminated liquid from archetypical components like a lightbulb? When something so intangible becomes tactile and easily transferrable. The project challenges cardinal design paradigms about how we utilize lighting, how it's displayed, and how it'due south controlled. Imagine what our world would look like.

Texts from the designer:
My starting time lamp explores the greatest metaphorical potential of my project past presenting liquid light in its most pure state: as a liquid contained in a bottle that tin be manipulated every bit liquids usually are. Along with this canteen, I have created a set of two glasses that stand for a lamp and a seedling – see pictures on the right. Past pouring the liquid light into the glasses, the object meaning is given to the light – two new lamps have been created. Yet, the liquid remaining in the canteen reminds y'all of its intangible essence – there is no demand of a lamp in society to have light. Light remains unattached to an object and able to be placed in any imagined context. I have used the quotidian gesture of pouring as a fashion to attach, or disassemble, light to its archetypes.
For the other lamp, I worked with the pervasive idea of the lamp. I worked with proportions and shape in order to create a perfectly recognizable archetype of a lamp. Aslope this procedure, I implemented the thought of liquid light by using the archetype of liquid, a tap. Therefore, I created a lamp that looks typical when first seen, simply creates a hint of curiosity and delight when a closer expect is given and the tap on it is noticed. The user starts then to imagine how the lamp would piece of work, and ends up discovering that the lamp switches on – gives light – when the liquid light starts to fill information technology. In order to switch it off, the tap has to be open and the liquid released.
