honey lamp™

It’s all about the Inner Beauty.

The Honey Lamp is unique. Resembling an eccentric child of heat absorbent ceramic and a piece of bee made honeycomb, the Honey Lamp conveys many emotions in a simple yet dynamic form.

There are three stages of the Honey Lamp: Off, On in Light, and On in Darkness. When the lamp is turned off the lamp looks clean and simple yet oddly dynamic because of the layered diffuser material. The sensory experience completely changes when the inner light the Honey Lamp is turned on in a lit room. A diffusion of warm light, slightly off-centered to accentuate the diffusion of light and to help add to the dynamisms of the piece, erupts from the piece. The cut and layered diffusion material diffuses the light into many different colors and hues of yellow, orange, and red. With the light on, the lamp looks nice, warm and contained, that is until you turn off all other lights. With all other lights turned off, the Honey Lamp truly explodes. The diffusion material is fully lit in intense yellows and oranges and the ambient light given off of the lamp warms its surroundings with soft, engaging light. It has a drawing effect, like a campfire. It is candy for the inquisitive.

There are many different narratives that can be associated with the Honey Lamp. Messages of concealed versus revealed inner beauty, the sweetness and robustness of actual honey depicted in light, the little engine that could and many more can be easily seen and associated with this lamp. What is important is that the lamp causes feeling and thought and these expressions are what attract people to it. Knowingly or unknowingly, people need to feel connection to their environment and the Honey Lamp is built upon these principals. It is up to them to establish a narrative, a story the answers their needs and their thoughts.

In a time were every product seems to have to have an overriding sense of design and sculpted form, the Honey Lamp stands apart by it’s natural simplistic nature. In some ways, it is brutally simplistic. It borders upon the line of designed or happen stance.

This is a lamp for those who are unique, poetic and altruistic qualities that mimic the lamp itself.
