The Porthole
The Porthole is a wall light inspired by the window of an airplane cabin. The light is controlled by sliding the shade panel upward. The lamp grows brighter as the shade opens, and reaches full brightness when the panel is completely open. The familiar form makes the operation easy to understand without instruction. The LED panel is coated with sodium peroxide nanoparticles that scatter light and separate different wavelengths, giving an effect similar to sunlight passing through the atmosphere. The wall light measures 225 by 300 by 55 millimetres.
