We used various processing techniques and new challenging techniques in order to create a special lamp. "Plain" allows you to feel the beauty of metals themselves. "Aburi" brings out the potential of metals by burning metals and create beautiful colors. "Twist" creates a three-dimensional pattern on the metal surface. "Aging" creates an antique look by accelerating the aging of metals. "Dyeing" dyes metals to create beautiful colors. "Perforated" is made by bending perforated metal plate. "Layer" is made by various shapes layering metal. Through these " 7 processing techniques ", we will explore possibilities of metal spinning lamp.

Judging Comments

The "Plain" lamp has been praised for its innovative use of metal processing techniques, such as "Aburi," which enhances the beauty of the metal with unique colors. The "Twist" technique creates a three-dimensional pattern, while "Aging" accelerates the natural aging process to offer an antique appearance. The use of "Dyeing" and "Perforated" techniques adds depth and texture, and the "Layer" technique introduces various shapes that enhance the lamp’s overall design. This creative combination of seven techniques opens up new possibilities for metal spinning, making the lamp both functional and artistic.
