The Head by Gum Design

the-head-by-gumdesign

“The project stems from wanting to use the technology and business background, oriented in a game of styles and atmospheres that reinventing the space with irony, this assumption grows the idea of creating a new concept that sees the transformation of the table on basic aspects of emotional and “functional.” THE HEAD The table becomes an emblem and a sign transposed … find the head with irony and play, defines the importance of who sits in front of other diners, surrounded by rich and signs superdecorati. A session and the two legs of the table made with the Baroque style and color gold turn into seats in the lower stems and white, to establish a strong and clear who will lead the “game”.”

tham & videgard hansson arkitekts have made their first foray into product design with ‘top’ lamp, produced by zero. it is a sheet of metal folded into a pyramid shape and its bottom is sealed with translucent plastic to diffuse the light. one of the corners can be tilted according to the users desire, simply by adjusting the metal chord. the top light will also expand into a series of lamps on the same theme and will be shown for the first time at milan design week 09.
