In ancient times, Helios was revered as the god of the sun, entrusted with the responsibility of guiding the sun on its daily journey across the sky. As he embarked upon an eternal voyage in his majestic golden chariot, coursing through the heavens, his chariot painted the sky with a mesmerizing palette of colorful and delicate hues. This breathtaking spectacle had the remarkable power to transform the heavenly sky, casting a radiant and enchanting glow upon the world below.
Drawing from ancient concepts, “Helios” pays homage to light’s circular dance. This design invites interaction, allowing you to play with light’s intensity by moving the sphere. Just as Helios shaped the sun’s path, you become the one who controls the brightness, creating a captivating dance of light.
The objective was to craft a lamp that seamlessly blended elegance with a touch of playfulness, while delivering uniform and spherical light—an endeavor made challenging by the precise casting required. To address this challenge, we combined different materials, aluminum and acrylic, in the lamp’s construction. Importantly, the spherical component can even be crafted from recycled waste materials, emphasizing our commitment to sustainability and innovative design.
Helios, an electric lamp, draws inspiration from ancient myths.
Crafted with a solid aluminum base (CNC milled then polished by hand) and a hand-casted acrylic sphere, it encourages users to adjust light intensity. Each hand-crafted casting results in shapes and patterns as unique and unpredictable as the celestial realm. Importantly, the spherical component can even be crafted from recycled waste materials.
