About Froggie Tafellampe

Froggie is in tafellampe ynspirearre troch it dûbele libben fan amfibyen tusken lân en wetter. It ûntwerp fangt it momint dat in kikkert boppe it wetteroerflak útstiget. De eagen fan Froggie tsjinje as de twa ljochtboarnen, wylst it bleatlein lichem boppe it wetter de basis foarmet. Beide eagen binne bûchber, sadat de eachfoarmen oanpast wurde kinne nei ferskillende posysjes om farieare ljochteffekten te kreëarjen. Yn elk noasgat sit in touch-sensorknop, sadat elk ljocht apart oan- en útsetten wurde kin. Froggie ferkent biomimicry as boarne fan boartlik ûntwerp.

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.
