Te Hoahoa

Mō Artemis Rama Papa

Ko Artemis he rama papa i hangaia ki te rākau wera me te konganuku. He āhua poutū tō te rama e piki ake ana mai i tētahi tūāpapa taumaha kia tū pūmau ai. Ko te otinga rākau wera i mahia ki te tikanga tahu Shou Sugi Ban, e whakapakari ana i te roa o te ora me te whakaatu i te iaia me te hōhonutanga o te rauemi. Mā tētahi maru āhua rau-e-toru e horahora pai te māramatanga, ā, mā tētahi pana whakakā-whakaweto māmā e whakahaere te rama. I ahu mai te hanga i ngā tihi whakapaipai e karauna ana i ngā tuanui porotaka o te hoahoanga Mughal. E 72 īnihi te teitei o te rama, e 22 īnihi te whānui puta noa.

Kete Pāpāho

Ngā whakamihi, ngā mema o te rōpū me ngā taipitopito hangarau i whakaratohia e te kaihoahoa.

Āhuatanga Motuhake: Artemis Floor Lamp is a sculptural lighting piece crafted from burnt wood and metal, defined by a vertically articulated form and a weighted, grounded base. The charred wood finish enhances durability while revealing material depth and texture. A trileaf-shaped lampshade softens and diffuses light evenly, while the restrained geometry balances craft and precision, allowing the lamp to function as both an ambient light source and a standalone object of design integrity.

Techniques:
Wood lathe turning
Shou Sugi Ban (Japanese wood burning)
Wero Hoahoa: The primary challenge was achieving a precise balance between proportion and stability within a slender vertical form. Referencing historical Mughal finials required careful scaling to avoid literal replication while maintaining visual hierarchy. Structurally, the lamp demanded a weighted base and refined transitions to ensure stability without compromising elegance, requiring multiple iterations to align form, balance, and functional performance.
Rangahau: The research was exploratory and practice-based, aiming to translate architectural heritage into a functional object. The objective was to study proportion, balance, and symbolic form. The methodology involved visual study, sketching, and material trials. Tools included drawings, scale mock-ups, and prototypes. The process was designer-led. Results refined stability and form. Insights showed heritage can inform contemporary design, impacting craft practice and product identity.
Whakaaweawe: The design draws inspiration from Mughal architecture, specifically the finials crowning domes, studied for their proportions, vertical hierarchy, and symbolic grounding. The project translates these historic forms into a contemporary object through material experimentation with burnt wood and metal, using controlled charring to enhance durability while retaining a clear architectural lineage and crafted precision.
Roanga o te Kaupapa: The project commenced in September 2025 and progressed through both design development and fabrication over an estimated period of 20–24 days. Fabrication was completed in October 2025, culminating in a fully realized prototype that reflects the intended design intent and material exploration
Rerenga Mahi: The lamp is operated by a simple on-off switch, allowing light to gently diffuse through the shade while the sculpted base remains visually stable. Its tall, balanced form guides the eye upward, creating a calm presence in a room. The layered base ensures stability, while the dark finish reduces visual clutter, helping the light feel warmer and more focused in everyday use.
