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.
