BIG-GAME – Hammer-Lamp Silver

Swiss design studio BIG-GAME designed a robust yet elegant “HAMMER-lamp” as a tribute to the silver arts and craft.

For BIG-GAME who mainly designs objects for companies that have large-scale production, the collaboration with the Wiener Silber Manufactur was an opportunity to explore the hand crafting of precious materials. BIG-GAME was particularly impressed by the hammer techniques, especially the “martelé” hammered surface structure, sometimes finer, sometimes more rustic. The design trio re-interpreted the primarily decorative aspect of table silver – the hammered surfaces having indeed a telltale affinity to industrial lamp reflectors and light sources. BIG-GAMEs table lamp series equally exploits the surface aesthetics and the specific light effects achieved with martelé. The HAMMER lamp combines up-to-date lighting technology and traditional craftsmanship. The foot of the lamp is a technical part that incorporates a compact led light source and holds a solid silver or gold-plated silver reflector that can be tilted in order to adjust the angle of the light.

HAMMER Lamp has been produced in a limited edition of each 12 pieces in silver martelé and 12 pieces in gold-plated silver martelé.
