Designer: Bathsheba Grossman
The Flame by Batsheba is an absolutely stunning pendant light that spreads delicate stripes of light on the surrounding wall, creating an intimate atmosphere. At the origin of Flame.MGX lies a sculpture made from a blob of clay, which was cut into a cube. Four corners were twisted clockwise, while the four other corners were twisted counter clockwise. The lampshade that originated from this sculpture is based on translucency and the interior volume is opened up entirely towards light and perception.The Flame.MGX lamp series was designed by bathsheba grossman for Materialise. The truly unique aspect of every Materialise lamp is that it was created through the use of rapid prototyping technology. This 3-d material printing process allows for an unlimited freedom of design far beyond the capacity of traditional manufacturing processes. Each Materialise products are named with the .mgx extension which is the file extension for Materialise's proprietary software. Each product produced by Materialise is rendered from a unique .mgx file which accompanies your product on a cd rom. You can reproduce your product by sending the .mgx file to Materialise.
