OTTO lamp embodies the principle of freedom in light construction. The outcome of the project is a modular lamp able to build light freely in space with a self-supporting joint as the center of its design. The self-supporting nature of the lamp, given by the two elementary shapes of an “O” and a “T”, enables the transmission of low-voltage current from one module to another without the presence of any cables. It is thus possible to rotate the modules by 360 degrees offering endless possibilities for compositions. To reinforce the structure, anodized aluminum was used both for the central body of each module, and for the O and T shells of each interlock.

The idea behind the project was developed through a significant prototyping phase. Ten prototypes were constructed to analyze statics, self-supporting ability, and module conductivity. Initially, prototypes were crafted from EVA and plywood, later transitioning to extruded aluminum and 3D printed PLA for the final prototype modules.

OTTO is a versatile wall lamp, adaptable to any environment, ranging from compact to expansive compositions. It allows for experimentation with multiple configurations, illuminating space without external supports, by relying exclusively on the interlocking of the modules themselves.
Finally, the project includes the declination of a floor and a table lamp according to the idea of an OTTO family.

OTTO Lamp was created as a modular lamp whose main structure is made entirely of aluminum. This combination of modularity and sustainable materials not only exemplifies the lamp’s design ingenuity but also underscores its commitment to environmental responsibility, as aluminum is highly recyclable, contributing to a more sustainable future. Crafted from anodized aluminum, the lamp not only exudes elegance but also champions environmental responsibility.
Aluminum’s high recyclability minimizes waste and maximizes resource efficiency. Moreover, a modular lamp presents significant advantages in the production process due to its ability to be assembled in various configurations using standardized components. This marriage of modularity and sustainable materials not only elevates the lamp’s design but also underscores its role in fostering a more eco-conscious approach to lighting solutions.
