The Design

About Pagoda Bordlampe

Pagoda er en bordlampe designet uden en ekstern kontakt. Lampen har et pagodeformet skal, der rummer lyskilden indeni. Betjeningen er integreret i formen. Brugeren placerer en hånd på toppen og drejer formen med uret for at tænde lyset og øge lysstyrken. Drejning mod uret sænker lysstyrken og slukker lyset. Skallen er lavet af teaktræ, som tørres for at opnå stabilitet og slidstyrke. Træ leder varme langsomt, så overfladen føles varm. Lampen måler 10 x 10 x 20 centimeter.

Therefore, suitable for frequent using product. And heat conduction of wood is slow enough to let user feel warm.
Design Challenge: This is an innovative design with a complex internal structure, and the machining qualification rate is the biggest challenge encountered by this project.
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: I got my inspiration from Buddhist pagodas. The luminous pagodas represent the sacred meaning of Buddhism and the path to enlightenment, providing wisdom to the world through the holy light. And we used this meaning to design this lamp. The lamp is also a product for lighting up the night. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this lamp opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 in Milan and finished in February 2023 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2023.
Operation Flow: First, users connect the pagoda to a power source. Second, place your hand on the top and rotate the shape clockwise to light it up. Third, continue pushing clockwise to increase brightness. Finally, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the light, push the bulb counterclockwise.
