DUTCH DESIGN WEEK 2015: Fiber Pattern Lamps by Robotiq

While surfing today on internet I found these interesting Fiber Pattern Lamps, seen at Dutch Design Week 2015. The lamps are made of resin-impregnated fibers by the Dutch design company Robotiq. The fibers are wound with a industrial robot around a mold in geometric patterns. The result is a beautiful, lightweighted and strong lamp.
More about the company:
Atelier Robotiq experiments with fibers and robotic weaving techniques to make lightweight 3D fiber structures with geometrical weave patterns. The Fiber Pattern Lamp series are designed using mathematical models and wound with an industrial robot. Atelier Robotiq is a Rotterdam based design company. They have an engineering-oriented culture using robots, 3D printers and laser cutters, which they combine with more traditional arts and craftsmanship. In contrary to many design studios this company makes all their products themselves. The name Atelier Robotiq represents the two worlds of Crafts and Technology.
