The Black Iris is a national symbol of Jordan. Inspired by the intriguing beauty of nature in my home country, the sculptural form was generated through a geometric abstraction of the flower.

 

Using digital design & fabrication, the lamp was composed of three uniquely designed metal pieces, fabricated precisely using water-jet cutting, folded into the right form, and finally fixed together to form the final sculpture's geometry.

​

The folding technique allows the light through, highlighting the edges and creating dynamic shadow patterns as the Iris blossoms!
