OBJ-01 IS AN UNDERSTANDABLE SIMPLE GESTURE, AN OBJECT THAT NEEDS NO EXPLANATION. AT A GLANCE, IT REVEALS ITS MATERIAL, ITS MANUFACTURING PROCESS, ITS FUNCTION AND ITS USE.
A PLATE OF RAW METAL, THAT CAN BE STEEL, STAINLESS STEEL OR BRASS, CUT BY LASER AND ASSEMBLED BY HAND WITH A RUBBER HAMMER AND NO WELDING JOINERY. ITS SIZE RESPONDS TO THE MODULATION AND FORMAT OF THE MATERIAL IN ITS COMMERCIAL STANDARDS.
PURE GEOMETRIC FIGURES BUILD THE LIGHTING FIXTURE; A RECTANGLE, A CIRCLE AND A CYLINDER AT THE BACK WHICH CONTAINS THE LED LIGHT SPOT. THE CIRCLE, WHEN CUT OUT, ADOPTS THE FUNCTION OF A SCREEN AND CAN ROTATE 360 DEGREES TO DIRECT THE LIGHT AT WILL.

Material:
OBJ-01, developed from flat sheets of steel, stainless steel, or brass, is produced in Valle de Chalco, Estado de México, by metal artisans. Standard sheets, used in their commercial format, are laser-cut to define precise geometries and then assembled by hand using simple tools, avoiding welding. The material is kept largely as found, and each step remains legible in the final object, embedding the process as an intrinsic part of the piece.
