Entry Description

The Bird's Nest Lamp draws its inspiration from the natural nests found in the wild. It takes the form of an organic shape created by intertwining millions of metal threads. This intricate interweaving of metal threads symbolizes the profound bonds and mutual support between family members. In ancient China, silk was often associated with longing due to its similar pronunciation. Placed within homes, it gently emits a soft glow through the metal threads, creating a warm ambiance.

The entire light structure is intricately shaped into an organic form using advanced metalworking techniques. Complementing this design, two pieces of nest-like metal sheets intertwine, offering a different organic pattern and lines from various angles when suspended at home. In the center hangs a doughnut-shaped light. The light radiates through the circular aperture between the two metal pieces, while soft glimmers shine through the interwoven metal threads, providing the right illumination.

When suspended at home and viewed from different angles, the pendant light reveals various facets, offering distinct visual experiences through the interplay between the two harmonious organic metal sheets and the light. The light seeping through the metal threads resonates with the soft glow, creating a dynamic interaction.

Sustainability Approach

Crafted with precision through advanced metalworking techniques, this lamp features two metal sheets intricately woven into an organic form using sophisticated metal wire techniques, with a central translucent light tube designed in the shape of a donut. Unlike the prevalent use of cheap and environmentally unfriendly plastic materials in the market, the use of metal enhances the lamp's durability and usability, while also promoting eco-friendliness.

The calculated and meticulous intertwining of metal strips forms an organic circular shape, emphasizing sustainability as well as aesthetics. By incorporating environmentally conscious design, this lamp not only complements the circular form and metal material with the illumination but also highlights the importance of green energy practices.
