nir meiri's seasalt lamp is influenced by salty aquatic crystallisation

product designer nir meiri’s latest project is the result of ongoing experiments exploring materials originating from marine environments. the seasalts lamp was inspired by the incredible natural process of placing an object in an aquatic saline place, where the salt slowly beings to crystalises around it. the lampshades are made using a unique technique from a mixture of sea salt and clear resin.

using a standard mould, the salt is slowly absorbed by the resin and crystallises into the delicate and distinctive lampshades, emerging with rough and natural textures. when lit, the light glows through the salt creating a soft and ambient light. two versions of nir meiri‘s seasalt lamps are available: a table lamp, which measures 13 x 28 cm and a ceiling lamp measuring 13 x 38 cm.
