About Lighten Напольная лямпа

Lighten — гэта напольная лямпа, натхнёная кітайскім іерогліфам, які абазначае святло, форма якога паходзіць з выявы сабраных разам паходняў. Непрамое асвятленне стварае мяккую атмасферу ў розных інтэр'ерах. Лямпа зроблена з дрэва і матаванага шкла, вырабленая з дапамогай ЧПУ-абпрацоўкі і механічнай пескаструйнай абдзіркі. Свеціль-модулі LED убудаваны ў дрэва, а паверхня дрэва адпаліравана і абраблена воскам, каб захаваць натуральную структуру волакнаў. Усе дэталі мадульныя і злучаныя з дапамогай шыпавога злучэння, так што зборка не патрабуе шрубаў. Ножны пераключальнік у аснове ўключае адну, дзве або тры стойкі лямпы для рэгулявання яркасці.

Unique Properties: The Lighten floor lamp is a product inspired by the "light" in Chinese characters. It uses indirect lighting to achieve the function of creating a lighting atmosphere. The combination of wood materials and frosted glass also makes it more premium. It can bring a pleasant aesthetic experience and use feeling in a variety of scenarios.The product uses the tenon-and-mortise principle to thread all the parts together, and the user can assemble them very easily without any screws in the process.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 520 mm x Depth 520 mm x 1700 Height mm
Tags: Floor lamp, Atmosphere lamp, Chinese character, Light, Tenon and tenon, Lighting design, Easy to assemble
Production Technology: Standardized production of wood and glass is achieved through CNC machining technology, frosted glass is made through mechanical sandblasting technology, and LED modules are embedded in wood with environmentally friendly glue. The wood surface is polished and waxed to maintain its natural grain and delicate touch.
Design Challenge: The challenge of this project is how to achieve the unification of product form and function from the perspective of Chinese characters. By dismantling the structure of Chinese characters and studying the semantic origin of Chinese characters, we gradually obtained the design basis. The assembly between the various parts of the product is also a challenge for us. We found a solution after learning from the tenon and tenon principle and mechanical balance research.
Research: Combining traditional wisdom and creativity in design is a novel way to allow users to experience modern elements while feeling traditional cultural emotions. This lamp takes Chinese pictographs as a starting point, fully interprets the shape and meaning of light in Chinese characters and analyzes the needs of market users, and finally positions it as innovative, friendly, lightweight and economical. It is suitable for the aesthetics and lifestyle of young people.
Inspiration: Chinese characters are the only morpheme characters left in the world. Lighten floor lamp is a product inspired by Chinese characters. Its shape design is inspired by the structure of "light" in Chinese characters (originated from the gathering of torches).As a lamp, it also echoes the meaning of "light" in Chinese characters. It has realized the unification of product form and Chinese characters' structure, as well as the unification of product function and Chinese characters' meaning.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2020 in Beijing, with model making around November 2020 and completion in early January 2021. And it will be exhibited in the Korean "Brand and Culture" design exhibition in January 2021.
Operation Flow: All components of the Lighten floor lamp are modular and easy to assemble. The product utilizes the balance of mechanics to realize the assembly of various components, and the user can assemble it very easily without using any screws in the process. The switch of the Lighten floor lamp is at the bottom, and the user can adjust the switch and brightness by stepping on it. The brightness is adjusted by the number of three lamp posts turned on.
