STORY
Pluto's structure is changing while orbiting around the Sun. That fact became a source of inspiration to create two lamps: floor/desk and pendant. Pluto’s internal structure consists of a dense core of rocks surrounded by a mantle of ice. Its orbit is elongated and when Pluto is closer to the Sun - the temperature increases causing the ices to sublimate into gas. The second version of the same “Pluto” lamp is an effect of the reverse phenomenon.
As Pluto moves away from the Sun, its atmosphere gradually freezes out, and falls to the ground. That’s why I created a floor lamp, with a thick, solid layer of paper, much heavier than in the first, pendant one. This version of floor paper pulp lamp refers also with its form to the Disney cartoon character called Pluto the Pup – the dog of Mickey Mouse.
