Waterproof Lamp by Hector Serrano

A light designed for use in the water: swimming pools, fountains, lakes … During the day the lamp stands upside down and out of the water in the ‘off’ position. At night it is thrown into the water where it floats in the ‘on’ position. Produced in rotation moulded polythene, the lamp is waterproof, powered by a rechargeable battery, which lasts up to six hours. The project deals with the importance of the context and plays with our perception of objects. The result is a new typology in lighting, characterised by the surreal and magic relationship of the archetype of a lamp and the water.

Cléon Daniel about project:

“I remember getting stuck in the snow with half a giant banana in the car in january, and breaking down in a flood on the way to the workshop too, but it’s all been worth it for the interest on people’s faces when they see the finished piece.”

Industrial designer Derek Elliott about project:
“During a collaborative studio between Appalachian State University and the Eastman Chemical Company I developed and prototyped an outdoor chaise lounge. This chaise was designed and built over the course of the Spring 2012 semester and was displayed at High Point Furniture Market in High Point, NC, the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York City and the International Woodworking Fair’s Design Emphasis student design competition in Atlanta, GA. I attended all three of these events to talk about my design and receive feedback from industry professionals.”
