Voice-controlled smart lamp, hand-cast in textured resin
Inspired by an informal photo series documenting the play of light on glass, water, skin, and dust, Elio lamps are stacks of translucent, tubular, cast resin that mimic interactions of natural light on uneven transparencies.
The lamps look to recreate a diffused glow using frosted sugar jellies as a visual reference and Its singular bend is a small ode to Eileen Grey’s Bibendum lounge.
Designed by Utharaa L Zacharias & Palaash Chaudhary
Soft-geometry, established in 2019 by Indian designers Utharaa L Zacharias and Palaash Chaudhary, creates collectible furniture and objects that serve as poignant reflections on the universal yearning for softness in an often harsh world. With the narrative backdrop of Zacharias and Chaudhary’s own experiences of living and working between cultures in India and the US, soft-geometry’s objects explore the suspension between contemporary geometries and ritualistic hand-building inspired by Indian craft traditions.
