Description

Dråpe (Norwegian for drop) is based on the shape of a water drop. The open end means the design completely changes when viewed from different angles. I just love the organic look. Also, the brass top (which I had some great input from the Wooda team on) really makes it stand out.

(From the designer)I feel lucky to get to work with the fine people at Wooda. We share the same passion for making products with exclusive materials, fine finishing and superb quality. At first, I was worried that this design would be too complicated to fabricate – but when I saw the result, it was so much better than I had even hoped. I hope you like this lamp as much as I do, because it really shows what can be achieved when a designer, company and craftsmen work together in the best way possible.

About the designer: Ronny's professional background started in the automotive industry doing technical drawings. After that he joined a company developing sonar technology, doing mechanical design. Since then he has worked in several subsea technology companies. This background – working with extremely fine tolerances with no room for errors – shaped Ronny to be extremely careful with details and leave nothing to coincidence.

Ronny always loved drawing and making stuff. His mechanical design work is mostly functional, so he felt a need to explore more creative design without so many “borders.” Founding Buaroy Design let him bring his ideas to life. Ronny loves starting with a blank sheet, just letting the ideas emerge to see what evolves and then focusing on the most exciting concept. And for him, excitement is such a big part of it, because design inspires feelings that are impossible to convey with mere words!
