TMS 360G ceiling lamp by Tom Strala
Rope dance between strength and vulnerability
With the series TMS I researched the vulnerability and convertibility of plains and reached the borders of the material’s possibilities. Aim was a transformation by only minimal injury of the matter. A rope dance between strength and vulnerability inside the matter. A rigid metal sheets gets worked with lasers in such a way that it can easily be folded by hand. A plain mutating to a volume. It is a metamorphose – not generating a completely different object. Rather a metamorphose on half way. Depending on the perspective, the result flickers between emptiness, surface, and volume. Similar to a picture puzzle.
