Innovative Stones: From Garden to Living Room
In European garden centers, palisade-style stones are a common sight. These cylindrical stones, often overlooked in American markets, are frequently used to create raised beds and striking landscape features.
Berlin-based design company 1×1 Systems sees beyond their traditional use, introducing an unexpected twist: the Pylon Lamp. This floor lamp cleverly employs a single palisade stone as its foundation.
Pylon Lamp: A Modern Design Using Traditional Materials
The concept is simple yet elegant. The Pylon Lamp requires a pipe, available from local suppliers, and one palisade stone to serve as a sturdy base. For the finishing touch, 1×1 Systems provides a downloadable file to 3D print the light fixture connector, making it a DIY dream.
Explore how a sculptural lamp prioritizes its decorative shell, offering a fresh perspective on design.
The design revolves around flexibility. Any tube with a 40 to 80 mm diameter can join with the stone. Palisade stones, offered in concrete or recycled plastic, are affordable, usually under 3€. The top of the lamp features a specially printed connector, accommodating an E27 threaded lamp holder. A 3D printed ball joint further enhances its adaptability, allowing the light to be directed precisely where needed.
Customization at Your Fingertips
Priced at 30€, the Pylon Lamp includes a personalized print file tailored to your specific setup, complete with a detailed manual. This innovative lighting solution can be customized via the 1×1 Systems platform and previewed using augmented reality on your smartphone.
Through this blend of traditional materials and modern technology, 1×1 Systems’ Pylon Lamp exemplifies how design can transform ordinary items into extraordinary home features.
