About Froggie Lamp Bwrdd

Mae Froggie yn lamp bwrdd wedi'i hysbrydoli gan fywyd deuol amffibiaid rhwng tir a dŵr. Mae'r cynllun yn dal y foment pan mae broga'n codi uwchben wyneb y dŵr. Mae llygaid Froggie yn gweithredu fel y ddau ffynhonnell golau, tra bod y corff sy'n weladwy uwchben y dŵr yn ffurfio'r sylfaen. Gellir plygu'r ddau lygad, felly gellir addasu siâp y llygaid i wahanol safleoedd er mwyn creu effeithiau golau amrywiol. Gosodwyd botwm synhwyrydd cyffwrdd ym mhob ffroen, fel y gellir troi pob golau ymlaen ac i ffwrdd ar wahân. Mae Froggie yn archwilio biocopïo fel ffynhonnell o gynllunio chwareus.

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: Froggie is a desk lamp project that inspires playful creativity. It captures the very moment when a frog rises above water. The eyes are represented as lighting sources, and the exposed body above water as a base.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 256 mm x Depth 165 mm x Height (max.) 310 mm
*Sizes may vary
Tags: Frog Lamp, Froggie Lighting, Frog Lighting
Production Technology: Froggie's eyes are made to be bendable. Each nostril is equipped with a touch sensor button where users can turn on and off each light.
Design Challenge: The most challenging part was to figure out proper representations for each design element, for example, how big its eyes should be proportional to the body, and how much its body should be shown, compared to the rest of its submerged part.
Research: Froggie is to explore biomimicry in design. It attempts to translate "double life" of Amphibians into lighting design language.
Inspiration: Froggie was inspired by "double life" of amphibians between land and water. Frogs have the permeable skin, which allows them to breathe through the skin in water. They also breathe through the nostrils above the water surface or on land.
Project Duration: The project began in January 2021 and finished in January 2021 in Banff, Canada.
Operation Flow: Users are able to manipulate its eye shapes by adjusting their positions, which could render various lighting effects.
