Drag Lamp
by Julien Carretero
Julien Carretero has designed a truly remarkable series of lamps inspired by the traditional plaster dragging technique.
Each lamp is created using two semi-circular shapes, aligned on a central axis of an apparatus, which drags plaster on top of each shape. The two halves are assembled together using the overload of dragged material.
This particular technique, traditionally used to produce ornamental cornices, is adapted in order to serially produce various versions of a lamp. The process results in an infinite variation of shapes, all based on solids of revolution.
