This project draws inspiration from old industrial spaces such as factories and aging buildings, which are often viewed today as abandoned or without purpose. The lamp incorporates materials like concrete and rebars to reflect the raw character of these environments, while a modern LED light introduces warmth and usability. The light moves through openings and across textured surfaces, highlighting the materials rather than concealing them. By bringing together aged materials and contemporary lighting technology, the project explores how forgotten spaces can be reimagined and made meaningful again.
