I was inspired to create several lamps on a space and sci-fi theme.
G A R G A N T U A
While creating this chandelier, I was inspired by the picture of a giant black hole created by producer Christopher Nolan for the sci-fi movie Interstellar. It was named after the giant who was the main hero of "Gargantua and Pantagruel" book, which was written by Francois Rabelais.
Despite the fact that in a computer simulation, a black hole with a mass exceeding the mass of our sun by 100 million times, which is the Gargantua weight, the black hole should look a little bit differently. Nolan decided to change it slighty in a favor of the visual component and for easy understanding by the viewer.
And exactly this shape was used as the basis for the chandelier. The length is 120cm and the height is equal to the width, which is 100cm.

The another Galaxy Object which attracts my interest and also is the object of scientific researches is neutron stars and their specific type called Magnetar. Their diameter does not exceed 20 km, but they have such a dense mass that a piece of magnetar with the size of a pea can weigh hundreds million of tons, and it makes several rounds around its axis per second. This mass and energy of particles leads to a huge bursts of energy which served to be the basis while creation of this chandelier.
Diameter - 90cm
Height - 60cm
Q U A S A R
This is the biggest object of the known Universe and is also called the beacon of it. In simple terms, these are the active nuclei of the Universe at the beginning stage, more scientific details you may find in Internet.
But this object deserves a lamp named after it more than any other one. The glow power of quasars is hundreds of times higher than the total glow power of all stars in our galaxy.
Max diameter - 100cm
Min diameter - 50cm
S I N Q U L A R I T Y
The black hole hypothetically is a portal from one galaxy to another.
Physicists explain it as a connection of two cones in one point which is called a singularity. It has an infinite density which blocks the light to go through it and because of this we are not able to see what is happening on the other side.
As a part of my project, I could not ignore this object of the Universe and it becomes my favorite one.
Length - 155cm
Max diameter - 25cm
Min diameter-8cm

This is a table or a bedside lamp which is an embodiment of a gate to the space, kind of a portal emitting the light and energy of the Universe, a door from our solar system to other galaxies, a crack in a space and time.
Solar does not light up the entire interior, but gives a decorative strip of light.
Height 60cm
Width 4cm at the narrowest part and 25cm wide
Depth 30cm

I could not ignore this popular object of the classic fantastic cinema. This is a visualisation of gates to the another dimension, another reality and world. You hardly be able to transfer yourself to another world through this lamp, but it will give you a distribution of uniform light while reading and definitely can be a great addition to your minimalist interior.
V I S U A L I Z A T I O N
Visualization of the connection Sahasrara chakra with the Universe is oftenly used in the spiritual practices and this connection happens by the beam of a light and energy of the universe.
Diameter - 10cm
Height – depends on room’s size
W O R M H O L E
If you are a fan of science fantasy, then, probably, you have seen a technique oftently used in the films when one hero explains to another the operation principle of black holes using the example of a folded paper which he pierces with a pen showing the shortest path from one side of the galaxy to the other. This hole in the paper is a circle, and in a three-dimensional space, a circle is a sphere. The example is quite banal, but it clearly conveys the essence.
A wormhole is a table or bedside lamp which is the visualization of this example.
Thank You
