Netherlands Amsterdam studio NEXT architects with Aura Luz Melis Paul van Vlissingenstraat 2A 1096 BK Amsterdam The Netherlands info@nextarchitects.com Website Year 2007 Type of Furniture lamp Area m2 / sq feet Publications

Slow Glow Description Slowness as a quality. Within this theme NEXT architects developed a slow product - the FAT LAMP - together with Aura Luz Melis. After turning it on, the content of the lamp slowly begins to melt therefore revealing more light. It becomes more tactile. This process takes about 2 hours. After turning it off it solidifies once again. The lamp is filled with non-conductive Soya oil and is melted by a small light-bulb submerged directly in the contents.
