Lamp for DaraghDesigns

The Magic Lamp's form is inspired by the form of the mushroom Psilocybe semilanceata, a species of fungus with a distinctive conical to bell-shaped cap that produces psychoactive compounds, otherwise known as the Magic Mushroom. The pearl white shade is 3D printed with a plant based plastic. As the light shines through it, the spiralling concentric lines created by the layering of material in the printing process are highlighted. Underneath the head are mushroom like gills, also 3D printed. The combination of materials, and it's natural form, stand out as the main features of this design.

Production Technology

Design Challenge

Carving the wood to create a thin stem and # dimensional curve without cutting into the cable within.

Project Duration

The design work began in early 2020 in Ceske Budejovice, Czechia, and completed at the end of 2020. It has been on sale at Etsy since January 2021.

Operation Flow

The Magic Lamp has a three stage dimmer switch operated by touching any part of the metal base.

Research

After picking this mushroom in the fields of South Bohemia, the designer experienced its 'magical' psychedelic effects. The mushrooms appeared to him to glow and pulsate with a kind of 'life force'. He decided to capture this experience by using its form as a lamp design, the electricity and light bringing it to life. To create this the designer aimed to innovatively combine 3D printing technology with the hand crafted wooden form so the entire piece could be produced in house, with ecological materials. Research and experimentation were carried out in his workshop and with design software.

Inspiration

The natural form of the Liberty Cap (Psilocybe Semilanceata) a potent psychedelic mushroom inspired this design. Scientists have been recently discovering the powerful healing potential of this mushroom, and they are increasingly being used therapeutically around the world. As it's significance to our human experience becomes ever more understood, the form of this mushroom becomes more recognizable, carries more meaning, and deserves attention.
