oran, black, sphere bulb
k oran's design is based on the architectural principle of
the ‘plastic number’. The basic shapes that can be derived
from the number’s proportions make up the building blocks of
this new line of lighting luminaries.
Designing from the plastic number means working with
spatial components. Creating spatial luminaires is in strong
contrast with k’s earlier designing principles, which were
exclusively applied to fat surfaces. For k, oran is its frst
design to claim space and to actively demand to be a part of
it. The product’s spatiality can be seen in its proportions, as
well as its dimensions and materialisation.
The unique form of k oran's refector inside the lamp
was inspired by aspects of nature, specifcally, the Japanese
Venus’ fower basket sponge.
The refector is printed with 3D-techniques. To mimic the
natural shape of the Venus’ fower basket, a simple element
is enlarged in a tiered manner giving Oran’s refector the
appearance of having grown in an organic way. While
using the latest techniques, the k oran glass lamp is
mouthblown, reminiscent of traditional methods. The Oran
line utilises artisan techniques and modern technologies in
one design.
