About Donut Stona lampa

Donut je stona lampa dizajnirana za spavaće sobe i prostore za čitanje. Lampa nema vidljiv prekidač. Sjenilo je oblikovano poput krofne (donuta) i ujedno služi kao kontrola. Lampa se pali stavljanjem ruke na sjenilo i guranjem u smjeru kazaljke na satu. Daljnjim pokretom u smjeru kazaljke na satu povećava se jačina svjetla, dok pokret suprotan smjeru kazaljke na satu smanjuje jačinu svjetla ili gasi lampu. Vanjski sloj sjenila izrađen je od lana, koji ublažava svjetlost i stvara toplu atmosferu. Lampa je dužine 15 cm, širine 15 cm i visine 30 cm.

A unique and affordable lamp has great market value. Desk lamp basically is Illumination action, facilitate reading, study, work. As the ceaseless development of desk lamp appearance, modelling, desk lamp has far exceeded the value of desk lamp itself, the desk lamp has become an artwork.
Inspiration
Just like the name, we got this inspiration from the shape of the donut. Donut is a very popular dessert for many people. We think the shape is very suitable as a lamp because of cuteness. When I was eating the donut, I realized it is a circle shape. Meanwhile the adjustment switch of major desk lamp also is circular. So we combined the switch with the donut to create this design.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow
First, users connect the donut to a power source. Second, put the hand on the donut and push the bulb clockwise and the lamp will light up. Third, continue to push clockwise to increase the brightness. Last, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the lamp, push the bulb counterclockwise.
