About Honey Drop Belysning

Blid lys belysning af honning. Denne belysning er et katastrofeforebyggende element, der også tilføjer farve til hverdagen. Placer honning i en glasbeholder, der ligner dryppende honning, og læg den på en træsokkel med en genopladelig LED. I nødstilfælde kan honningen bruges som nødmad, og piedestalen kan bruges som lommelygte. Dette produkt skal ikke opbevares til kun brug i nødstilfælde, men også for at sætte farve på hverdagen.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Gentle light illumination of honey.
This lighting is a disaster prevention item that also adds color to everyday life. Place honey in a glass container that looks like dripping honey and place it on a wooden pedestal with a rechargeable LED. In an emergency, the honey can be used as emergency food, and the pedestal can be used as a flashlight. This product is not to be stored away for use only in emergencies, but also to add color to everyday life.
Dimensions & Packaging: honey/glass/wood/cork w340mm d200mm h200mm

Production Technology: Glass containers are created by blowing glass. The glass container is filled with honey and corked with a cork. The base is made of wood and has a rechargeable LED inside.
Design Challenge: It was difficult to come up with an idea that would also add color to daily life and yet be a disaster prevention item.
It also took time to form the glass container into a shape that would allow the honey to drip.
Research: We researched what kinds of emergency items are available. As a result, we found that many items are used in emergencies and stored away for daily use.
Therefore, our goal was to design disaster prevention items that would add color to everyday living spaces.
We then learned about the visual, nutritional, and sterilizing properties of honey, and designed a product.
Inspiration: Japan is prone to natural disasters, so disaster prevention items are abundant. However, since most items are used only in times of disaster, I have come up with disaster prevention items that can be used in everyday life.
Honey can be stored for a long time at room temperature, and its high nutrient content makes it a good emergency food. It also has a high sterilizing effect and is effective when applied to wounds. I have developed a honey product that is ideal as a disaster prevention item.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2022 in Japan and finished in December 2022 in Tokyo, and was exhibited in New Norma New Standard3 in November 2022.
Operation Flow: Place honey in a glass container and cover with a cork. Place the glass container on top of the wooden pedestal. Turn on the light with the switch on the wooden pedestal.
