Creating a tactile experience through a physical expression of the transitions of time. Vesi records the events in your life through the crumbling of the porcelain foam surface.
Vesi is an exploration in porcelain: by bubbling and engaging with it in a new way, extending existing technologies. This is a lamp which is sensitive to the changes in your life, recording all these special moments in a very personal and intimate way through the crumbling bubbled outer.
This way it is not only a lamp, but it becomes your unique lamp as the surface falls away over time changing the quality of light released. Samples of the extensive experimentation were the underlying strength of this project. Porcelain slip was bubbled and fired, repeated again and again with different ingredients, in different forms and moulds, and tested under different light sources until the desired qualities were achieved.
