Perfectly Imperfect by Stephen Pikus
Want your home to look different? Introducing a range of eco-friendly TRuK lighting products whose “perfectly imperfect” concept could be the answer. Produk unik yang didesain oleh Stephen Pikus Design asal Afrika Selatan ini, terinspirasi dari bentuk filter di dalam sebuah truk konstruksi. Dibuat dengan sangat memperhatikan dampak lingkungan dan juga fokus pada proses repurposed dan upcycled, TRuK menjadi produk lampu yang berkelanjutan. Karena raw material pada ‘filter lampu’ awalnya memiliki bentuk yang kasar, sehingga terlihat banyak noda kecil, torehan, dan besetan, membuat tim desain menolak beberapa yang terlalu rusak dan tampilan bentuk TRuK tidak akan ‘murni’. Namun, hal itu menjadi bagian dari ‘keindahan’ produk ini. Menurut Stephen, mereka sempurna seperti apa adanya.

TRuK sendiri memiliki desain yang inovatif, lahir dari kecerdasan akan ‘kebutuhan’ dari masyarakat Afrika Selatan. Menghadirkan empat ukuran berbeda, Large Wide, Large Narrow, Medium, dan Small, serta empat ukuran stok. Semua fixture berbentuk silinder, ketinggian berkisar dari 1 inci hingga 19 inci, dan ukuran lain tersedia berdasarkan permintaan. Juga, tersedia dalam empat distressed electroplated/metallic power coated dalam warna Matte Black, Aged Nickel, Rubbed Brass, dan Antique Copper. TRuK diproduksi dan dibuat oleh pemberdayaan penduduk atau karyawan lokal dengan pelatihan keterampilan kerja, yang bertujuan demi meningkatkan kondisi ekonomi serta memberikan kesempatan untuk mengubah hidup bagi mereka.

“Giving back is not merely an act of kindness or compassion but of necessity. We are programmed to take what we believe to be ours, be it motivated by greed or our own sense of entitlement, and to change that way of thinking takes a conscious effort – and often a kick in the pants! Never before has it been so apparent that there are severe consequences to our actions, and that we ALL need to do our bit. Like the tide, there needs to be that constant exchange else all we touch will become stagnant and eventually die” – Stephen Pikus –
