About Donut Lámpada de Escritorio

Donut é unha lámpada de escritorio deseñada para cuartos e zonas de lectura. A lámpada non ten interruptor visible. A pantalla ten forma de rosquilla e tamén funciona como control. A lámpada acéndese colocando a man sobre a pantalla e xirándoa no sentido das agullas do reloxo. Un movemento adicional nese sentido aumenta o brillo, mentres que o movemento en sentido contrario diminúe o brillo ou apaga a lámpada. A capa exterior da pantalla está feita de liño, o que suaviza a luz e crea un ambiente cálido. A lámpada mide 15 cm de lonxitude, 15 cm de ancho e 30 cm de altura.

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.
