The combination of ice and fire in "Kaiwen Look at Design Series" is amazing.
Product Name: Ice Block Lamp Block
Designer: Harri Koskinen
Design time: 1996
Ice cubesThere is a light in it.? It's incredible just to think about it!
First of all, let's take a look at the winning record of this amazing four-seater ice lamp:
In 1998, he won the Swedish Excellent Design Award (Excellent Swedish Design)
In 1998, he won the Design Plus Design Award.
In 1999, he won the special award of the Ambiente Show in Frankfurt, Germany.
In 1999, he won the New York Accent Show Best New Product Award.
In 2000, it was awarded the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in new york.

When it comes to Nordic contemporary design, no one will forget the ice lamp. It fully shows the perfect integration of glass craftsmanship, light changes and spiritual creativity. It presents the warmth of light bulbs in the ice cubes, and the strong contrast is unforgettable.
Designer Harri Koskinen became famous for this work, when he was only a student of Helsinki University of the Arts. Design House Stockholm Anders Fardig, the founder of the Swedish design company, was very amazing. It took unimaginable time to mass produce this work.
The whole production is artificially cast, and after a long cooling process, so as to ensure that the glass will not crack when facing rapid temperature changes. The thick glass should not only be transparent, but also have the feeling of cracked ice cubes. At the same time, it should not be able to withstand the temperature of the bulb, and can only reveal slight warmth from the glass. These requirements are a major challenge to production.
Not to mention the just right proportion of long, wide and high craftsmanship, showing a simple and neat sense of beauty. It seems to symbolize the warmth that the Nordic people have been looking forward to since they lived in the ice and snow for centuries, and the indescribable desire of ice and light, hot and cold.
Today, the ice cube lamp is about to enter its thirtieth year. Designer Harri Koskinen is also an important representative of contemporary Nordic design, and the timeless ice cube lamp is still the one-time choice in the minds of every Nordic design enthusiast.

Harri Koskinen,1970 born in Karstula, Finland, is a young and talented designer. After graduating from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki, Koskinen Harri quickly signed several free creation contracts, during which he worked for Iittala and Arabia of the Finnish Hackman Group.
Harri Koskinen, which starts from glass design, is quite interested in the contradictory characteristics that glass can be light and thick. The use of different manufacturing technologies can show a completely different style of glass. He is convinced that the existence of all objects has its reason and meaning, and this functional design concept does not violate the style of other Finnish designers.

Since ancient times, ice and fire have not been integrated, and the two seemingly contradictory materials have solved the seemingly impossible problem after continuous attempts, so there is a stunning appearance of ice cube lamps.
