Flex Multifunctional Lamp

Flex

Flex is a series of household lamps that includes two table lamps and one floor lamp. Each lamp is made of a solid wood light unit, a neodymium ball, a metal pole and a base. A magnetic connection joins the light unit to the stand and allows the light unit to be turned in any direction. The light unit can also be removed and fixed to other surfaces with magnetic accessories, so it can serve as a wall lamp. A touch sensor in the wooden housing sets three levels of brightness. The wood is coated with wax to keep its natural texture.

Oplamp Table Lamp

Oplamp

Oplamp is composed of a ceramic body and a solid wood base on which an led light source is placed. Thanks to its shape, obtained through the fusion of three cones, the Oplamp's body can be rotated to three alternative positions that creates different types of light: high table lamp and ambient light, low table lamp and ambient light, or two ambient lights. Each configuration of the lamp’s cones allows at least one of the beams of light to interact naturally with the surrounding architectural settings. Oplamp is designed and made entirely by hand in Italy.

Glassy Library  Lighting

Glassy Library

Glass Library is a lighting scheme for a library set inside a three-level split glass building. The ambient lighting is kept soft and even, so reading stays comfortable as daylight changes. Concealed LED strips inside suspended steel rods create a flowing halo. Recessed floor uplights emphasize the column and the feature wall, while custom recessed accent lights highlight the artifacts. A photo sensor near the glass curtain walls balances interior light levels during the day, as no dimming system could be used.

Waon lighting

Waon

Waon is a wall-mounted lighting fixture made with Mino washi, a paper unique to Japan. The design refers to the papermaking process, in which the fibers are shaken in water to spread evenly. The washi is folded and twisted into pleats to form a large curved surface. Thin acrylic plates hold the paper in place, so no visible frame is needed and the paper appears to float. The gap between the paper and the wall also serves as heat dissipation space for the three bulbs, which can be replaced easily. The soft light suits entrances, lobbies and bedrooms.

25 Nano Ambient Light

25 Nano

25 Nano is an artistic light instrument to represent ephemeral and permanence, birth and death. Working with Spring Pool Glass Industrial CO., LTD, whose vision is building a systematic glass recycle loop for a sustainable future, 25 Nano chose the relatively fragile bubble as a medium in contrast with solid glass to embody the idea. In the instrument, light shimmers through life cycles of the bubble, projecting rainbow-like color and shadows to the environment, creating a dreamy atmosphere around the user.

Little Kong Lamp

Little Kong

Little Kong is a series of ambient lamps that contains oriental philosophy. Oriental aesthetics pays great attention to the relationship between virtual and actual, full and empty. Hiding the LEDs subtly into the metal pole not only ensures the empty and purity of the lampshade but also distinguishes Kong from other lamps. Designers found out the feasible craft after more than 30 times experiments to present the light and various texture perfectly, which enables amazing lighting experience. The base supports wireless charging and has a USB port. It can be turned on or off just by waving hands.

Nightside Table Lamp

Nightside

Nightside is a table lamp designed for use at night. When closed, Nightside gives a warm low glow that lights the area nearby. When more light is needed, a press on the top reveals an extendable spotlight for bedtime activities such as reading and writing, without disturbing others in the room. The spotlight uses a patented optical projection system with three lenses and a single warm-white LED to create a bright and even beam that can be directed up to ninety degrees. The lamp is energy efficient and runs on one watt of power.

Capsule Lighting

Capsule

The shape of the lamp Capsule repeats the form of the capsules that are so widespread in the modern world: medicines, architectural structures, spaceships, thermoses, tubes, time capsules that transmit messages to descendants for many decades. It can be of two types: standard and elongated. Lamps are available in several colors with varying degrees of transparency. Tying with nylon ropes adds a handmade effect to the lamp. Its universal form was to determine the simplicity of manufacture and mass production. Saving in the production process of the lamp is its main advantage.

Glow Globs Lighting Installation

Glow Globs

Glow Globs is an inflatable lighting installation made of white nylon fabric, a blower fan and LED lights. The installation consists of three abstract forms, each measuring between 2.5 and 3 meters in each direction. The shapes were developed with three-dimensional modeling and were inspired by smoke and air flow. Each form is built from 80 to 100 sewn panels. LED lights are suspended inside, so the color changing light is diffused softly through the fabric. The forms collapse when the fan is switched off, so the installation can be moved and deployed at other locations.

Waterlight Lamp

Waterlight

Waterlight is a desktop lamp inspired by the water faucet. Turning the control bar up and down changes the brightness of the light. Turning the control bar from left to right adjusts the color temperature. Two potentiometers inside the sphere, one horizontal and one vertical, change the input voltage to create these effects. The light is produced by LED cells on a base. The head is made of bronze, the top lid of natural marble and the outer shell of glass. The bottom lid holds a circuit for wireless charging, so the lamp can be carried between rooms.

Froggie Table Lamp

Froggie

Froggie is a table lamp inspired by the double life of amphibians between land and water. The design captures the moment when a frog rises above the water surface. The eyes of Froggie serve as the two light sources, while the exposed body above the water forms the base. Both eyes are bendable, so the eye shapes can be adjusted to different positions to create varied lighting effects. A touch sensor button is placed in each nostril, so each light can be switched on and off separately. Froggie explores biomimicry as a source of playful design.
