About Donut Làmpada de Taula

Donut és una làmpada de taula dissenyada per a dormitoris i zones de lectura. La làmpada no té cap interruptor visible. La pantalla té forma de donut i també fa la funció de control. La làmpada s'encén col·locant la mà sobre la pantalla i empenyent-la en sentit horari. Un moviment addicional en sentit horari augmenta la lluminositat, mentre que un moviment en sentit antihorari la redueix o apaga la làmpada. La capa exterior de la pantalla és de lli, que suavitza la llum i crea una atmosfera càlida. La làmpada fa 15 cm de llargada, 15 cm d'amplada i 30 cm d'alçada.

Research: Desk lamp is the product that every family user will buy, have huge market. According to the survey, most lamps are priced below 30 euros. Now the shape of the desk lamp is more fixed. 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.
