Taeg Nishimoto : Misha

Architecte et designer, Taeg Nishimoto nous présente le concept de lampe de table Misha. Un luminaire composé de bouteilles en plastique recyclées et d’un simple tissu blanc pour se décliner en 4 variantes.

Baigné dans un durcisseur pour tissu, le carré de textile blanc est alors modeler pour former un abat-jour solide. Positionné à l’aide d’une structure qui maintient ses 4 coins, le carré devient alors source d’un étonnant jeu d’ombre et de lumière. Avec ce projet, le designer japonais Taeg Nishimoto livre une création poétique qui tire son élégance de sa simplicité.

Sur ce projet, le designer Taeg Nishimoto précise :

"“misha” is a table lamp and has four variations (#1 - #4.) It uses the white fabric made of 100% post-consumer plastic bottles. The fabric is hardened to structure itself while it is configured to make specific creases for light and shadow effects on the lamp shade. Fabric is cut into square and dipped into fabric hardener. It then is hung in a framed structure from four corners of the fabric. This hung fabric is pulled upwards from certain points by thread with spherical weight placed in between the pulled points so the fabric will create specific creases. This crease effect follows the way how the fabric behaves itself in relationship to the pulled points and different amount of weights. The hung fabric is left to dry until it is completely hardened. The resulting creased fabric is then placed upside down to create a lamp shade, which is placed above the black plastic tube that contains the light bulb inside. The fabric is structured by two sets of metal wire connected to the plastic tube. When the light is not turned on, it presents a kind of draped structure flowing above the table. When it’s lit, the lamp shade creates light and shadow effects through the creased fabric."
