People have always been fascinated by the light of a perfect circle. The returning
full moon and the natural phenomena ascribed to it (higher childbirth percentage,
fertility, transformation from human to animal, etc.), the archetypical form of
a UFO, the shape of a gong, the sun… are but a few striking examples. Despite
its shape of a full circle (‘full moon’), the lamp can be used in several positions:
horizontally, diagonally, obliquely or vertically (‘fool moon’). Thanks to its large
dimensions, the lamp is easily recognisable and has the possibility of demarcating
or creating spaces. The lamp also has a highly symbolic value due to its imposed
abstraction.
