The Design

About The Porthole Llum de Paret

El Porthole és una llum de paret inspirada en la finestra de la cabina d'un avió. La llum es controla lliscant el panell de la persiana cap amunt. La làmpada es torna més brillant a mesura que la persiana s'obre, i arriba a la lluminositat màxima quan el panell està completament obert. La forma familiar fa que el funcionament sigui fàcil d'entendre sense necessitat d'instruccions. El panell LED està recobert amb nanopartícules de peròxid de sodi que dispersen la llum i separen les diferents longituds d'ona, oferint un efecte similar al de la llum solar en travessar l'atmosfera. La llum de paret mesura 225 per 300 per 55 mil·límetres.

With creative design touches emotion , the light does not have to make people feel like a light, and the space people in does not have to feel like its in there room. This kind of "emotional" wall light is in lack.

The wall light will remind people of their time spent on the airplane, heading to destination on travel, and full of joy and excitement. We want to bring these feelings to people, especially under the Coronavirus when people have to stay at home, we may feel lonely, sad, depressed, but when we turn up the light, look through “The Porthole”, it seems like we are on the plane at present, looking out the window, ready to face a brand new day.
