‘Mess,’ Lamp by Vasily Butenko

The Ukrainian designer Vasiliy Butenko has created a new lamp called ‘Mess’ witch is inspired shapes find in the nature.
The challenge for Vasily was to make an object with a messy form, but with strict structure, since without it the elements can not be assembled.

I enjoy watching the elements created by nature. It would seem that form of an ordinary tree is chaotic, but it is not true. All forms in the nature are systematic chaos of too complex geometric shapes. A man is able to reproduce in the object only a small part of the complicated geometry of this system. I took advantage of this principle while creating the lamp “Mess”.
I spent a lot of time developing this design. In the end, I decided to create a framework with the items placed in such a way that you can see how petals are built only from the top.
Quincunx arrangement of the details compacted the lampshade, thus hid the frame. The lamp is made of sheet aluminum, which makes it lightweight and durable.
