Oled Lamp’s shape is defined by the use of last-generation OLED mirror panels mounted on a laser-cut mirror stainless steel structure.
OLEDs are a light source that introduce new conditions for designing with light. Based on organic electronics, they consist of ultra-thin layers crossed by electrical current, generating a diffuse and uniform emission.
The project takes this technology as a starting point. The light source is not applied to a structure—it becomes the structure itself.
The reflective surface of the OLED panels gives the object a dual condition: technical and decorative. When switched off, it mirrors the surrounding environment, transforming the chandelier into a reflective body; when activated, it emits a soft, controlled light.
The system is composed of three independent modules connected in series. This configuration allows multiple variations, adapting the object to different spatial and functional requirements.
Form is a direct consequence of the technology. Structure and light source coincide, reducing the object to a single operative element.
