“When designing the MadUse table lamp, I drew inspiration from the unexpected connection between the underwater world of jellyfish and academic studies of drapery. The resulting design deliberately balances between two opposing sensations — familiarity and mystery. The silhouette of the lamp emerged from a search for a form that evokes the impression of a floating organism, something foreign, perhaps even extraterrestrial, while the gently rippled surface of the shade recalls a piece of fabric casually draped over a chair — a detail intimately familiar from everyday life. Through this combination, I aim to create a space for perception that is not bound by categories but opens up new ways of seeing both form and function.”
