Orbit portable lamp is inspired by the Moon’s rotation around the Earth

Slamp first flagship store opening party during the Milan Design Week 2022

An item that stood proudly on the desk, evolving into a dynamic sculpture that transformed with each user. The evolution led to the creation of the ‘Engrid,’ a progression where the grid structure became more organized, and the tools themselves took on the dual role of bolstering a lighting element for task-oriented illumination while also raising the user’s favored tools to a heightened position.”
George Chacko V:
“What sets the ‘Engrid’ apart is how it integrates your art supplies into its design. The pens, pencils, and markers, which are typically scattered across your workspace, now play a pivotal role as supportive elements.
By utilizing these tools as props, the ‘Engrid’ lamp doesn’t just illuminate your creative space but also elevates the tools you rely on. This integration not only helps in organising your workspace better but also adds a personal touch to the lamp’s function.”
George Chacko V:
“The present version of the product is not designed for scalability; rather, it stands as an autonomous entity adorning a user’s desk, harmonizing both aesthetics and utility. This creation serves as a dedicated repository for a user’s most frequently used pens and tools.
Moreover, it also manages to mirror the user’s individual style and preferred medium when engaging in sketching and drawing. Nonetheless, considering the adaptable nature of the lattice structure, we are actively exploring additional iterations characterized by modular features and diverse variations.”
George Chacko V:
“I’m currently working on a prototype to explore a few other dimensions and alternatives to the lighting element. The current 2x5x12 lattice was based on the measurements of the average pens and markers available in the market.”
George Chacko V:
“Given its current specification, injection moulding as well as metal mesh weaving and welding is the approach. I’m exploring 3D printing for prototypes though. While also actively looking at a 1 couple of other materials, but their feasibility needs more testing in the next few weeks.”
George Chacko V:
“I’m currently engaged in the concept of integrating lattices and grids as platforms that can incorporate supplementary functionalities. This exploration has already yielded results in the form of the ‘Cartesia’ floor lamp.
The ‘Cartesia’ lamp features a collapsible grid structure, complemented by a light tube that seamlessly fits into the grid, offering the flexibility to be repositioned and fine-tuned according to preference.”
George Chacko V:
“The target audience for this product comprises designers and artists who possess a distinct set of favored tools integral to their sketching and drawing routines. This design encourages a purposeful approach to selecting and returning a pen to its place, adding intentionality to the process.
Additionally, the product serves as a mirror of the artistic expression manifested on paper, encapsulating the essence of their creative endeavors.”
