Conduit, connecting the heritage of marble design with contemorary techniques

About the Item

Austere in its beauty yet modestly playful, this marble lamp references an archetypal ancient aqueduct, thus creating a creating a “luminous conduit” for the home. "Conduit" casually references classicism through its elegant profile and noble materiality, while nodding towards the postmodern. "Conduit" is a tabletop lamp that connects the heritage of marble design with contemporary manufacturing techniques. It references the archetypal Roman aqueduct remains that dot the Southern European landscape. Solid marble is cnc milled and adapted to fit a 30 cm tubular led bulb. Essentially a two dimensional cut out profile, the lamp features an elaborately milled groove on one side to accommodate a woven fabric cable while exposing it, enhancing the directional sense between power source and light. The choice of marble was decided based on locality. Three distinct Greek types were chosen, Chios in dark brown, Ioannina in warm grey and the classic Pentelic in bright white. Non local Travertine was added as a reclaimed material option, its origin justified due to its familiarity and abundant presence in the Athenian built environment of the 1960s and 1970s. ‘Conduit’ is designed by Thanos Karampatsos of studio Hoi Kaloi
