About Orbita Лямпа

Карыстальнік, які ўзаемадзейнічае з лямпай, з'яўляецца ядром канцэпцыі Orbitas. Налада святла і тэхналогія былі распрацаваны для сувязі з карыстальнікам. Жэст падзелу верхняй сферы не толькі ўключае/выключае святло, але і вызначае колькасць святла. Пры павароце ў розных градусах карыстальнік можа ўсталяваць святло на 4 розныя налады. Абажур Orbitas выпускаецца з 4 розных матэрыялаў - медзь, латунь, алюміній або плеценая лаза, кожны з якіх забяспечвае асаблівы стыль і лёгкае адценне. Асноўныя структуры Orbitas - гэта штатыў з цвёрдай драўніны, які гарантуе трывалае стаянне і трывалую паваротную сістэму

Unique Properties
INTERACTION, is Orbita's key element of innovation. A combination of highly skillful artisans with todays technology. Interaction translated as the gesture of the user splitting the domes to create light. from a single ball to two rotating hemispheres, perfectly balanced on a pivotal mechanism that allows a 360 degrees rotation and 4 different light settings.
Dimensions & Packaging
- Different wood specimens.
- 135h x 50cm x 50cm
- 3.8kg
- warm light - 4 different settings - interchangeable LED source

Production Technology
Orbita's manufacture is based on reclaimed wood native from Patagonia. Areas of the wood that have marks, cuts or recesses that tell a story are keep, such as old rail tracks and old logs. The CNC milling process give shape to the legs and rings that host the light source. Lathe parts are engineered to bring together the lamp and allow it's full rotation system while the pcb circuits make possible the light experience through the wicker or copper lamp shade.
Design Challenge
Orbita's 360 rotating feature required the engineering of a pivotal core along with an easy-fit locking system for inspection. The light source is an interchangeable LED ring, powered by a circuit board able to conduct electricity during rotation as well as switch on/off. The moving nature of wood is the most challenging obstacle when creating a highly technical product. Being all the pieces reclaimed they needed an accurate inspection to determine the best cuts and a proper drying.
Research
The project's core is the interaction between Tech, Craft & User. Orbita is the intersection of the three. Interactive and noninteractive prototypes were put to the test. It came apparent that those showing solely craft were displaced by those with interactive features. Conclusion: 1- Interaction drew and determined customer choices. 2- From the users perspective, these products ranked higher in the market, what resolve in an increment on capitalization and financial gains for the artisans.
Inspiration
How do we keep the pace of an ever evolving market?
Orbita is the result of the Artisan world and Tech combined. The cultural background and delicate details of craftsmanship are now joined by the advances in technology that makes a highly crafted object not only beautiful and traditional, but interactive and timeless.
Project Duration
The development of Orbita started in September 2020 in South of Chile and achieve full completion on August 2021 at the same location.
Operation Flow
The function of Orbita is determined by the interaction of the user. Orbita presents itself as a complete sphere when is OFF. The lights goes ON when the user split the sphere by rotating the upper dome. 4 different light settings can be chosen in accordance of the degree of rotation.
