Molo lamp

This is a lamp that I saw during the London Design Festival at Londonewcastle Project Space (28 Redchurch St, Shoreditch). The lady who appears in this movie is the designer who created the lamp Stephanie Forsythe. Molo design is a Canadian company behind this project of products made with paper, and the lamp is part of a line that Stephanie created.

Related with my project, I believe the whole line is a good example of versatility and interaction between product and consumer. That is a great point in the prosumer behavior.

Getting started

First of all, I am sorry about my English. As I am not writing in my mother language, it is possible that I make some mistakes.


This is my first post, so, to start I would like to say that although my project proposal needs to be fixed because what I was proposing was to open and it could not really explain what I wanted to do , it is almost decided that in some point the subject of my research is going to be the "prosumer".

So what the hell is prosumer?

I found it on wikipedia:

Prosumer is a portmanteau formed by contracting either the word professional or producer with the word consumer. The term has taken on multiple conflicting meanings: the business sector sees the prosumer (professional–consumer) as a market segment, whereas economists see the prosumer (producer–consumer) as having greater independence from the mainstream economy. It can also be thought of as converse to the consumer with a passive role, denoting an active role as the individual gets more involved in the process. More recently, in the mental health field, the word "'prosumer'" has come to mean "consumer/provider," also known as a "peer provider," such as a Peer support specialist or other mental health consumer who also provides peer support mental health services.
