The 'Alumina' salt lamp has been designed by France-based designer Thomas Carlier as a naturally beautiful illuminator that puts crystallization in the spotlight (figuratively and literally). The light first starts off with the stainless steel frame that is positioned into a bath of water that has been saturated with alum salt in order to help start the crystallization process on the surface of the metal. This creates a hypnotic appearance that wraps around the various contours of the arcs to achieve a naturalistically ethereal look.
The 'Alumina' salt lamp puts a focus on biofabrication techniques that make use of more eco-friendly materials and creates truly one-of-a-kind decor products that will greatly enhance the interior design of a space.
