The project began with observing the anatomy of the
beetle: a rounded shell, elongated limbs and a subtle crossing gesture in its stance.
Rather than replicating the insect directly, the goal was
to capture its attitude the balance between fragility and
firmness. Through dozens of exploratory sketches, the beetle’s body was reduced to essential geometries:
a dome to express the shell, two crossing lines for its posture, a compound curve that suggested motion restrained. These abstracted elements became the skeleton of the lamp.
What began as natural reference shifted into architectural thinking how can a posture become a structure?
The answer emerged gradually: a sculptural frame that behaves like the body of the beetle grounded, yet lifted; soft, yet disciplined.
The lamp’s equilibrium comes from this interplay: structure leaning into structure, each supporting the other, just like the insect’s natural posture.
