In todays Blog, you will see part of the development of a product that is directed to China.

FIRST ACT = GOLDAs we all now, gold has a symbolic value
Gold is common metaphor in many of the worlds lenguages

Gold SYMBOLS:
"It flitters like gold" - universally Gold symbolize: brilliance, light, illumination, warmth, spiritual realities
Gold symbolizes wealth - “I struck gold”
Gold has been a measure of value and wealth in numerous cultures, in this particular case, the Chinese Wealth.


Second Act: THE FISHOne such symbol of reverence in Feng Shui is the fish
The fish represents wealth and prosperity, especially Carps
The actual word in Chinese for fish also translates to “abundance”
Chinese new year dinner includes fish but its not eaten up completely
As the Chinese phrase "may there be surpluses every year"
Sounds the same as "may there be fish every year."
The Carp is founded usually in paintings, drawings, ceramics, and pieces of Chinese ar; specially one type of Carp, THE GOLDFISH

THIRD ACT = GOLD + FISH
Light = Gold Wealth = Fish
Light + Wealth = Goldfish
Light = Product Symbol = Goldfish
Product + Symbol = A Metaphor

FORTH ACT = THE METAPHOR
Product = Light = Gold, Fish = Wealth = symbol, Product + Symbol = metaphor

The light fills the fish with gold, with wealth, it`s the goldfish decorative lamp

FIFTH ACT = THE DETAIL
Drawings, paintings, patterns and figures in Chinese art show the same type of detail in the fish scales.
Please watch the scales in this imagesThe Existent lamps don't show relation between light and scales.
Scales and light is the Gap

conclution about fish lamp research

In any of the fish lamps of my research i can see special attention in the scale detail of the fish body. There is no relation between light and scales, light and fish form. I can said that their function is more as an sculptural decoration than a lamp product.

This is one of my porpuses in this project. Scales and form related with light aaaaand maybe not sculptural, but beautiful piece of forniture or decoration.
