Oma lamp | Kaamos
@SaloneSatellite 2013 Finland
1
The OMA floorlamp (oma is Finnish for ”own”) consists of a wrought-iron tripod base and a glass
cover that has been mouth blown into a mold. The lamp prototype was produced by handicraft
techniques and its structure is simple, yet clever. It may also be manufactured in industrial serial
production. This slender utility article combines hard and sturdy iron with delicate and gently
formed glass.
The exquisite design and execution of the OMA floorlamp reflect the unyielding collaboration
between the designer and various talented artisans, glass blowers and polishers as well as iron
forgers.
“Own home, own armchair, own book, own moment. “
The OMA lamp has been designed for young adults, families, grandmothers and career women. The
lamp is lit to create a moment and atmosphere just for oneself, to create a pause in the middle of a busy day. Use OMA to light a moment of your own, in your favorite arm chair, with your favorite book. The form of the lamp may even distantly remind the viewer of a giraffe or a gazelle. The materials themselves have inspired the designer to create this composition of forms.
