Half Moon

Containing three types of lighting — wall lamp, pendant light, and table lamp, Half Moon series illustrates the close relationship between the metalworking technique, the shapes, and the functionality of the lights.

Due to the tender and malleable nature of the brass, the flat sheet is stretched and formed into a volume with spatial quality after repeated hammering. The dimpled surface owing to the raising process creates a gleaming reflection of waves. Casting upon a wall or a blackened brass sheet, the resultant effect is at the intersection where light and shadow are simultaneously spotted, probing into the ambiguity of lightness and darkness.

Half Moon series is handcrafted in Taiwan. Bespoke customization is available. For inquiries and sales please email info@messagingleaving.com

看見光，也意味著看見陰影；呈現陰影，亦是呈現光。Half Moon 由材質及製作工藝之探索為起點，將金屬鍛敲的自然紋理，應用於桌燈、壁燈和吊燈系列照明，映出製作工藝與成品形式的緊密關聯。

由於質軟、易延展的性質，黃銅板材在反覆的鍛敲之下，逐漸由平面延展為量體，再透過拋光處理，使敲製時產生的鎚痕反射光影如波。三款燈具透過結構與光源的變換，以及局部化學藥劑進行表面舊化/黑化處理，讓受光面的漆黑色澤襯托光亮，在反射聚光之間帶出明與暗的兩面性。或許光與影並非兩極，而是屬於彼此。

全系列以手工鍛敲製作，接受訂單與客製需求，作品型錄、售價與其他細節請聯繫 info@messagingleaving.com
