The Design

About Froggie Tafellamp

Froggie is 'n tafellamp geïnspireer deur die dubbele lewe van amfibieë tussen land en water. Die ontwerp vang die oomblik vas wanneer 'n padda bo die wateroppervlak uitkom. Die oë van Froggie dien as die twee ligbronne, terwyl die blootgestelde liggaam bo die water die basis vorm. Albei oë is buigbaar, sodat die oogvorms na verskillende posisies verstel kan word om uiteenlopende ligeffekte te skep. 'n Raaksensorknoppie is in elke neusgat geplaas, sodat elke lig afsonderlik aan- en afgeskakel kan word. Froggie ondersoek biomimikrie as 'n bron van speelse ontwerp.

Unique Properties: Froggie is a desk lamp project that inspires playful creativity. It captures the very moment when a frog rises above water. The eyes are represented as lighting sources, and the exposed body above water as a base.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 256 mm x Depth 165 mm x Height (max.) 310 mm
*Sizes may vary
Tags: Frog Lamp, Froggie Lighting, Frog Lighting
Production Technology: Froggie's eyes are made to be bendable. Each nostril is equipped with a touch sensor button where users can turn on and off each light.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part was to figure out proper representations for each design element, for example, how big its eyes should be proportional to the body, and how much its body should be shown, compared to the rest of its submerged part.
Research: Froggie is to explore biomimicry in design. It attempts to translate "double life" of Amphibians into lighting design language.
Inspiration: Froggie was inspired by "double life" of amphibians between land and water. Frogs have the permeable skin, which allows them to breathe through the skin in water. They also breathe through the nostrils above the water surface or on land.
Project Duration: The project began in January 2021 and finished in January 2021 in Banff, Canada.
Operation Flow: Users are able to manipulate its eye shapes by adjusting their positions, which could render various lighting effects.
