Every year in London the London Design Festival has always held the merging of designers all over the world to show off his latest work in the world. At the London Design Festival, this time showcased the Urban Light Camper that is a masterpiece of Chieh Ting Huang, a graduate of London's young designer Camberwell College.
The theme of the London Design Festival this time is "homage to lighting and the taming of fire as the cornerstone of humanity"
This lamp is interesting because it is a blend of Western and Eastern culture. Where is usually in the East on the main lighting was the antiquity of the Lantern. The Lantern is an explanation that can be easily carried by the use of candles as a light source and then were given the order of bamboo or wood covered with paper. Bamboo or wooden Lantern structure, giving shape and strength of the Struts while the paper will form the membranes that cover the whole order. Paper protecting the flame from the wind but still transparent enough to illuminate the surroundings. While in the West, the main source of information in the form of gas lighting which was given the order of iron and glass, this method first created in the United Kingdom in the 17th century. The core of both is the same, namely to protect the light source.
Urban Camper is very light in accordance with the theme of the London Design Festival. Light as the main light source, given the structure of the wood and then the paper as the membrane. The paper folded in such a way so as to form a diamond shaped reflection describing the preciousness of the light, the color of the paper also variations of yellow and orange that symbolizes the color of fire. Wooden structures are also used to give the impression of warm and natural at the lights.
The wooden structure was created from cutting wood in precision with laser technique. Due to the heat that is created when cutting using lasers, there is a natural burn scar on a mix of a wooden joint structure. Installation of all components using the hands. Folding paper and staining the membrane is also done manually. The perfection of imperfection combined with laser cutting machining manual thus making this lamp has its own characteristics that are interesting to be enjoyed.
