{"product_id":"obj-07-wall-lamp-manuel-bano","title":"OBJ-07 Wall Lamp","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe OBJ collection is based on simple gestures applied to materials in their commercial format. Through manipulations such as cuts and folds, raw materials are transformed into objects. Without the use of references and preliminary research stages during the creative process, Manuel's approach to design is intuitive. He enjoys drawing simple lines and sketching ideas in multiple notebooks, and over time, some of these sketches are turned into physical objects. Despite the OBJ series seeking an ambitious aesthetic and prioritizing beauty over function, these objects ultimately find their place at home, aiming to fulfill a specific function.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eA square cut from a copper sheet is deformed into a perfect circle, generating a conical and hyperbolic geometry whose complexity feels almost unintuitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe light illuminates both the interior of the piece and the wall it is mounted on, casting a warm reflection tinted by the copper itself. Conceived as sculptural objects, the lamps occupy the space typically reserved for artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOBJ-\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e07\u003c\/span\u003e is produced from recycled copper in collaboration with master artisans in Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán. The material is heated in fire until it becomes malleable, then shaped through controlled, repetitive hammering. Rather than relying on industrial processes, form develops gradually through this manual work, allowing the material to be stretched, compressed, and stabilized by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThe piece retains the traces of this process—subtle variations, tonal shifts, and surface irregularities—that reflect both the intensity of the work and the nature of the material itself. Once the raw piece is formed, it is transported to Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, where final adjustments, assembly, and finishing are completed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Manuel Bano","offers":[{"title":"Copper \/ Mexico","offer_id":54922116727118,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/6928\/9981\/files\/01_WebRes_ManuBano_MJ_PhotoByAlejandroRamirezOrozco.jpg?v=1773843520","url":"https:\/\/objectswithnarratives.com\/products\/obj-07-wall-lamp-manuel-bano","provider":"Objects With Narratives","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
