This is ballena.
It is part of the podium series; a set of lamps made between 2020-2021. The idea behind podium is to explore the beauty of rough, ready-made industrial materials. The approach is always the same: take a naked element and exploit its potential; everything is dry-assembled with the minimum material transformations possible.
Here in ballena we take a jaw locking plier as the main piece of the lamp. Everything is assembled around the plier: its 10 mm diameter back bolt sets the size for the other elements.
