quin.mgx lamp series designed by bathsheba grossman for materialise.this design marks the culmination of a series of work that has spanned the designer's sculptural life. this light-sculpture expresses the unity between the four elements of the natural world and the spiritual wholeness of the universe; what the artist likes to refer to as : the quintrino.
the truly unique aspect of each materialise lamp is that it was created through the use of rapid prototyping technology. this 3-d material printing process allows for an unlimited freedom of design far beyond the capacity of traditional manufacturing processes.
