Inspired by an earring belonging to ferm LIVING’s founder Trine Andersen, the design team wanted to make a decorative lamp that should function as a work of art in the home. The ferm LIVING design team pursued a floating, natural form that could mirror the elegant, organic composition of the earring and took a somewhat playful approach in defining the shape. Through multiple drawings and by experimenting with folded orange and white paper, the design team chose two shapes – one which would be the Oyster Wall Lamp and one which would be the Oyster Table Lamp. The characteristics of the two reminded the team of oysters found at the beach, which sparked new ideas for material, texture, and function.
