Wang Museum

Wang Museum is an architectural lighting scheme for a memorial hall dedicated to the Chinese writer Wang Zengqi, built in his hometown of Gaoyou. The lighting recreates the bright and gentle light environment described in his writing. A color temperature of 3000K helps the hall blend into the surrounding traditional historical district. Interior lighting emphasizes the walls, so the indoor light is also perceived from outside. Outdoor lighting shapes reflections on the water. Lamp slots and pipelines were set into the concrete in advance.

Astoria

Astoria is a table lamp made of MDF, glass and brass. The base is CNC engraved and includes a USB charging port and a pen holder.

A touch button on the brass section switches the lamp on and off and dims it, so the light level can be set to suit the room. The combined functions serve a small area and reduce cable clutter.

Time Lamp Timing Light

Peng Ren Timing Light Lighting Tuesday, 14 July 2026

Time Lamp

Time Lamp is a table lamp with a timing function, shaped like a traditional hourglass. The lampshade is made of translucent acrylic with an optical grain and is joined by ultrasonic welding, so the light is spread evenly. Rotating the lampshade acts as the switch and selects a color temperature of 4200K or 3200K. A short touch of the button starts the timing mode, and a long touch keeps the light on. Gravity sensing and electronic slip rings let the shade turn without winding the wires. The design combines lighting with a reminder that time is passing.

Stoccolma

Stoccolma is a flexible wall lamp designed to move light where it is needed. The lamp is formed by two cables held in tension between four anchor points. Each cable combines a brass wire, which gives structure and carries current, with an elastic wire that allows sliding. A circular brass disc holding an LED runs along the cables and can be turned by hand through 360 degrees. Stoccolma can light a corner, serve as a reading light beside a bed or illuminate a table. The structure removes the need for a separate power cable.

Mondrian

The suspension lamp Mondrian reaches emotions through colors, volumes, and shapes. The name leads to its inspiration, the painter Mondrian. It's a suspension lamp with a rectangular shape in a horizontal axis built up by several layers of colored acrylic. The lamp has four different views taking advantage of the interaction and harmony created by the six colors used for this composition, where the shape gets interrupted by a white line and a yellow layer. Mondrian emits light both upwards and downwards creating diffused, non-invasive lighting, adjusted by a dimmable wireless remote.
