About Donut Lampe de bureau

Donut est une lampe de bureau conçue pour les chambres et les espaces de lecture. La lampe ne comporte aucun interrupteur apparent. L'abat-jour, en forme de donut, fait également office de commande. On allume la lampe en posant la main sur l'abat-jour et en le faisant pivoter dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre. Poursuivre ce mouvement augmente l'intensité lumineuse, tandis qu'une rotation en sens inverse la diminue ou éteint la lampe. La couche extérieure de l'abat-jour est réalisée en lin, qui adoucit la lumière et crée une atmosphère chaleureuse. La lampe mesure 15 cm de longueur, 15 cm de largeur et 30 cm de hauteur.

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: Just like the name, we got this inspiration from the shape of the donut. Donut is a very popular dessert for many people. We think the shape is very suitable as a lamp because of cuteness. When I was eating the donut, I realized it is a circle shape. Meanwhile the adjustment switch of major desk lamp also is circular. So we combined the switch with the donut to create this design.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: First, users connect the donut to a power source. Second, put the hand on the donut and push the bulb clockwise and the lamp will light up. Third, continue to push clockwise to increase the brightness. Last, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the lamp, push the bulb counterclockwise.
