Svitna
An ultralight textile lamp with flexible construction
Zuzana Ševčíková and Michaela Doležalová
The Svitna project is a dialogue of two young designers.The development of the lamp began during an internship at the TextielLab in Tilburg, where Zuzana studied knitwear programming. With Michaela, who is a light designer, together they created an ultralight shaped and foldable knitted lamp.
The knitted fabric is designed to come out of the machine as a whole in one piece.
The development of the knitted fabric includes the design of the structure of the details and the shape itself.
A flexible construction runs through the 3D knit and stretches it to the desired size.
3D printed details ensure the stability and light functionality of the object – the beak hooks or feet make distances, and the central element serves as a socket and joint of the entire construction.
The aesthetics refers to an outdoor tent as a symbol of mobility and functionality.
The title Svitna refers to its slavic roots.
