We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Trayan Stamov about their original and creative Laser Lamp design work. Trayan Stamov is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original laser lamp works.
Trayan Stamov ("TS") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Flame Laser Lamp. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
TS : The intent of the concept was to be a modern sculptor which creates an aesthetic movement of the flame. The luxury shape was motivated by the existing studies on positive emotional impacts of rounded shapes.
TS : I wanted to combine the functionality and performance with aesthetics and design idea. Furthermore, additional focus has been made on the emotional value of the product.
TS : The award winning design provides me with great opportunities to introduce my work as a designer locally and internationally.
TS : It took me around 6 months for this particular design concept and modeling design details.
TS : It was an inspiration. The particular concept for the lamp shape was inspired by the original source of light and a most important discovery of humanity - fire. Also, using of innovative light sources combined with a luxurious design was another attraction to my attention.
TS : It went on a research process on the issues related to powerful lights, minimal energy consumption, emotional power of the shapes, materials, colors and aesthetics.
TS : This is entirely my own work.
TS : With its modern design the Flame lamp a luxury jewel attracting the attention in every interior design, residential or public.
TS : The unique shape.
TS : The name comes from the shape, which was inspired by the flame of the fire.
TS : For this particular project I used Rhinoceros, Keyshot and Photoshop.
TS : Flame is a new generation lamp. In it laser light sources are build-in that are used more intensively in the industry and are characterized by the light intensity and a minimal use of electricity. This, together with the elegant design is the starting point of the project. The stylized shape provokes a simulated flame effect and creates a sense of comfort and luxury. The materials for the metal and glass body are fully recyclable, which, together with low energy consumption ranks it among the top of the environmental friendly products.
TS : The study for the design of the lamp went off in three directions. The first direction was to find the best and most innovative light source currently using minimal energy and providing maximum light. Undoubtedly, these are laser lights gaining popularity recently with their powerful LED and laser projection that are more efficient than simple LED lights. The second direction was to find an inspiration for the shape of the lamp that can be used in residential interiors. Because the original source of light and a most important discovery of people is the fire, it is used as a basic form of this lamp. The main idea of the body of the lamp is based on styling of a flame of fire. The third direction is based on a study of the emotional impact caused by shapes of products. It is known that the first impression of a product may not get a second chance, so the design has a specific purpose. In recent years there has been a growing interest in the general area of design and emotions. Based on an extensive research of resent literature and experimental analysis made during my PhD study it was concluded that the shape defined as “Direction movement” evoked intensively pleasant emotions. The main characteristics of this form category consist of using of curved and rounded shaped elements that represent it on the plane and space. The final design decision was made after a combination in the results in these three directions.
TS : I improved my abilities to represent my work, the involved in my design ideas.
