A STRONGER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THINGS WE HAVE AT HOME
HVAD? To bordlamper, der repræsenterer Fanø og Esbjerg gennem hver deres farve, form og materiale. Lampefødderne er lavet af drivtømmer fundet på stranden ved Esbjerg og Fanø og mærket med fundstedets koordinater.
HVORDAN? Gennem interviews og samarbejde med lokale fra Esbjerg og Fanø fandt designer Bjørn Grummesgaard Hagensen frem til, at vi er mange, der holder allermest af ting med tilknytning til vores hjemstavn. Designet af de to lamper er formet af karakteristika ved Esbjerg og Fanø.
HVORFOR? Vi køber og forbruger produkter, men beholder dem ikke længe. Designer Bjørn Grummesgaard Hagensen satte sig for at finde ud af, hvad der skal til, for at vi beholder produkter længere. Lampernes historie og tilknytning til et lokalområde giver måske ejeren en stærkere følelsesmæssig tilknytning og lyst til at beholde dem.
WHAT? Two table lamps that represent Fanø and Esbjerg through their respective colours, shapes and materials. The lamp bases are made of wood and driftwood found on the beaches of Esbjerg and Fanø and are marked with the coordinates of the place where they were found.
HOW? Through interviews and collaboration with locals from Esbjerg and Fanø, designer Bjørn Grummesgaard Hagensen realised that many of us are most fond of things connected to where we grew up. The design of the two lamps comes from items unique to Esbjerg and Fanø.
WHY? We buy and consume products but do not keep them for long. Designer Bjørn Grummesgaard Hagensen decided to identify what it takes for us to keep products longer. The history of the lamps and their connection to a local area may give the owner a stronger emotional connection and desire to keep them.
