Yugoslavia Lamp
A sculptural glass lamp inspired by Hordeum murinum, a wild plant found across the landscapes of the former Yugoslavia.
A lamp shaped by memory,
nature, and light.
Yugoslavia Lamp is a sculptural lighting concept inspired by Hordeum murinum, a wild grass whose layered form becomes a quiet symbol of memory, renewal, and impermanence.
The object translates a natural botanical structure into glass, metal, and light — creating a lamp that feels both familiar and futuristic.
Origin:
Hordeum murinum
The form of the lamp comes from Hordeum murinum, a wild plant related to barley and often found in dry fields, roadsides, and open landscapes. Its layered seed structure became the starting point for the lamp's silhouette: protective, rhythmic, organic, and architectural.
The name Yugoslavia is not used as nostalgia alone. It refers to a landscape, a memory, and a feeling of something once whole, now transformed. The lamp becomes a quiet object about presence, disappearance, and renewal.
A botanical form,
translated into glass.
The lamp is designed as a vertical sculptural object. Its layered body follows the rhythm of the plant, while the light inside reveals the contours of the glass. The result is not only illumination, but presence — an object that changes depending on time of day, room, and atmosphere.
Three temperatures
of atmosphere.
Warm light feels domestic and intimate. White light reveals the glass structure with precision. Blue light transforms the lamp into a more cinematic and futuristic object.
Designed to live
quietly in a room.
Yugoslavia Lamp is imagined as a collectible lighting object for calm interiors — a piece that sits between furniture, sculpture, and memory. It creates atmosphere without dominating the space.
Material vision
The prototype is envisioned with a glass body and a brushed stainless steel base. The glass direction may explore both clear glass and sandblasted or frosted glass finishes.
Clear glass emphasizes reflection, depth, and internal light. Frosted or sandblasted glass creates a softer glow and a more diffused sculptural presence.
Clear glass
Transparent, reflective, precise.
Frosted / sandblasted glass
Soft, diffused, atmospheric.
Brushed stainless steel
Stable, minimal, refined.
Final materials and construction details will be confirmed through prototype development.
From digital sculpt
to prototype.
The current form was developed as a digital sculpt before fabrication. These studies explore proportion, silhouette, layered geometry, base structure, and how the glass body may connect to the stem and base.
A future lighting family.
The Yugoslavia Lamp concept may expand beyond the table version into ceiling, floor, and architectural lighting variations. The same botanical language can become a larger family of objects — from intimate table light to suspended sculptural installation.

A collectible object,
considered from lamp to box.
The packaging direction presents the lamp as a complete design object: minimal, protective, and editorial. The box becomes part of the experience, carrying the story of the plant, the form, and the material vision.
