About this artwork

iconic pendant lightobject
The design references and pays tribute to the most well known and iconic structure in the world:
the Eiffel-tower. To understand where the lamp is made of : it’s necessary to go closer and look at it with more caution. The detailed structure creates a stunning shadow play.
The design is also a comment on mass-production, over-production and consuming.
The design of the Eiffel tower is enormously overproduced, used in souvenirs,… prints, posters,
commercials, coffee-mugs etc. It’s iconic shape is grown larger than the tower itself. Using mass-
produced souvenirs as a building-block: I created a new shape and design. Result is a very expressive, dynamic and striking looking lamp , with layers of humor and poetry hidden in the design. “Colosseum” wants to express and enhance the positive connotation of the shape it is constructed from.
