Martian Floor Lamp: A Cosmic Illumination

Designer Igor Lobanov's Award-Winning Lighting Fixture Inspired by Science Fiction

Inspired by the rise of cosmic technologies and the characters of Martians by H.G. Wells, Igor Lobanov's Martian floor lamp is a unique blend of form and function. This Silver A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award winner stands out with its highly adjustable and transformable design, capable of fitting a variety of interior applications.

The Martian floor lamp is not just a lighting fixture, but a piece of art. Its unique properties lie in its simplicity and emotional appeal. The head part, connected by swivel joints with three stand bars, is adjustable in height and direction, forming a slim and lightweight tripod-like silhouette. This flexibility allows the lamp to adapt to any interior setting, enhancing its aesthetic and functional appeal.

What sets the Martian floor lamp apart from other lighting fixtures is its innovative design realization technology. Lobanov used edge-lit technology for the light engine, where a transparent light guide panel is surrounded by LEDs on its perimeter. This light guide has a micro dot structure that diffuses the light from the LEDs, creating a soft and ambient illumination.

The technical specifications of the Martian floor lamp further underscore its unique design. With a height of 1750 mm, width and depth of 452 x 462 mm, and a head enclosure diameter of 405 mm, the lamp is a perfect balance of size and design. Its symmetrical design allows it to be swapped upside down, adding to its versatility.

The Martian floor lamp is not just a lighting fixture, but an interactive design element. The fixture can be manually transformed to a desired configuration smoothly, with joints and sliders that are friction-based. The lamp can stand on non-flat surfaces or even at places with different floor levels, offering a variety of configurations.

The Martian floor lamp's design excellence was recognized with a Silver A' Lighting Products and Fixtures Design Award in 2018. This prestigious award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that illustrate outstanding expertise and innovation. The Martian floor lamp, with its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, truly embodies this spirit of excellence and innovation.
