Boolean Lamp
Hand-blown glass pendants by ChiLab Design Studio
Stub case study — full content forthcoming.
The Boolean Lamp takes an unremarkable object — the aluminum clip light, ubiquitous in studios and warehouses — and elevates it through hand-blown glass and considered base materials. Each piece is unique in the small variations of the glass while sharing a precise design language. The work is part of ChiLab Design Studio’s ongoing investigation into the everyday object as a site of careful redesign.
