The Design
About Froggie Bordlampe
Froggie er en bordlampe inspireret af padders dobbeltliv mellem land og vand. Designet indfanger øjeblikket, hvor en frø hæver sig over vandoverfladen. Froggies øjne fungerer som de to lyskilder, mens den synlige krop over vandet danner soklen. Begge øjne kan bøjes, så øjenformerne kan justeres til forskellige positioner for at skabe varierede lyseffekter. En berøringssensorknap er placeret i hvert næsebor, så hvert lys kan tændes og slukkes separat. Froggie udforsker biomimikry som kilde til legende design.

- Unique Properties

*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.
