Unique Properties
This smart ceiling lamp uses natural quartz crystal as the main material for the lamp body. By simulating the interlocking forms and light-transmitting properties of polar ice crystals, it creates rich layers of light and shadow. The levitating installation and minimalist wiring design ensure visual purity and lightness. The smart dimming system is seamlessly integrated, making this lamp both a levitating sculpture of light and shadow and an intelligent companion for daily life.
Dimensions & Packaging
The product comes in two sizes: 1000mm x 80mm x 80mm and 1200mm x 80mm x 80mm.

Production Technology
The lamp body is crafted from natural crystal rough stones, selected for quality and finely polished to preserve the natural form and raw texture of the material. An internal aluminum alloy framework ensures stable load-bearing capacity. Light passes through a custom diffusing structure and smart LED modules, delivering uniform and soft illumination. A simplified wiring system, combined with dedicated embedded components, creates a pristine visual effect as if floating in space.
Design Challenge
The core challenge lay in how to imbue the hard, cold crystal with the fluidity of glaciers and a rich interplay of light and shadow. We overcame this through precise experimentation with crystal cutting angles and a multi-layer diffusion structure. Achieving the highly accurate embedded installation required for the floating effect was equally complex; by developing modular embedded components and a tolerance adjustment mechanism, we ultimately ensured the design vision was flawlessly realized.
Research
This study focuses on integrating the form and luminous quality of glaciers into modern home lighting. Using natural crystal glass and multi-layer optics,it addresses the issues of harsh lighting and lack of decorative appeal found in traditional lamps.With minimalist wiring and smart dimming, it delivers a soft, adaptive light source while achieving visual purity. The result is an integrated lighting solution blending natural beauty, emotional ambiance, and smart convenience.
Inspiration
The design of this pendant lamp is inspired by crystal formation. Drawing inspiration from the crystalline structures of glaciers and their visual effect on light refraction, we seek to merge the unique luminosity of natural crystal with modern smart home technology. The material qualities of natural raw crystal resonate with glacial imagery, and its layered interplay of light and shadow offers a lighting solution that brings both natural artistry and minimalist aesthetics to contemporary living spaces.
Project Duration
Designed in Shanghai in December 2024, completed in July 2025.
Operation Flow
The included smart remote allows you to turn on the light with a simple press, initiating a soft, glacier like fade in illumination. Through the dedicated smart app, you can preset lighting scenes for activities like reading or relaxing, or sync the brightness with the natural daylight cycle. The core of its interaction lies in making light adjustment as intuitive as breathing, with technology subtly receding behind its natural texture.
