We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Tapio Anttila about their original and creative Led Interior Design Light design work. Tapio Anttila is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original led interior design light works.
Tapio Anttila ("TA") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Tip Led Interior Design Light. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
TA : The main idea of Tip is lightness and its flat appearance. The tip in the middle of the sheet recalls a drop hitting a surface just before it spreads out. I was also inspired by all those possibilities offered by the LED technology.
TA : My main focus was to design a light fitting that would look new and that would not block the view when hanging. Furthermore, I wanted to create an object where light would disperse perfectly to all directions.
TA : I am planning to design a complete series around this concept including a variety of sizes and a floor lamp.
TA : All in all, the process took me about half a year.
TA : This design was commissioned by Keraplast Interior but I got more or less free hands in designing a new light fitting for their collection.
TA : My design is produced and sold by Keraplast Interior.
TA : I realized that this kind of product was missing on the market.
TA : Mr. Markku Rantanen of Keraplast Interior offered his technical expertise during the process.
TA : This design is suitable for use at home but also in public spaces.
TA : Lightness and the way that light is reflected and dispersed.
TA : The name refers to the inspiration behind this design, i.e. the tip in the middle of the sheet recalls a drop hitting a surface just before it spreads out.
TA : I used the 3D programme.
TA : I would say that it is the application of the LED technique.
TA : I closely collaborated with the Product Manager of Keraplast Interior, Mr. Markku Rantanen, who had an important role in technical issues.
TA : As a matter of fact, it served as a starting point in the whole project.
TA : Based on a market research, I started to design a concept that was not on the market yet. The analysis also influenced the design and the visual looks of the product.
TA : Technically it was challenging to place the light source inside the object. Another challenge was the making of the mould for the acrylic part.
TA : The initiative came from the producer, Keraplast Interior.
TA : During the process I learned more about the LED technique.
TA : There will be a complete series of Tip light fittings in various sizes and types. We are currently looking for a partner in marketing this product.
