About Uod Lampu Gantung

Uod adalah lampu gantung pintar yang dirancang untuk rumah dan area kerja. Lampu gantung ini dipasang pada plafon dan juga dapat berfungsi sebagai lampu kerja untuk membaca atau bekerja. Sistem tangkai yang dapat bergerak menekuk panel OLED penghasil cahaya sehingga permukaan yang menyala mengarah ke bidang kerja di bawahnya. Aplikasi seluler yang terhubung mengukur tingkat pencahayaan serta menyesuaikan daya cahaya dan bentuk perangkat. Kenyamanan visual ditingkatkan dengan mengubah posisi panel alih-alih menaikkan daya, sehingga menghemat energi. Material yang digunakan adalah aluminium sikat, baja, dan panel OLED.

Unique Properties: Uod is a smart lamp. It is capable to discover the user, understand a particular functional circumstances and an environmental context; later it proposes the most comfortable solution and ideal to allow doing what is preferred, without exceeding in the mechanisms and energy consumption. It is anchored to the ceiling however able to turn into a table lamp for reading or working, placing its own illuminated surfaces in parallel to the working surface to improve the visual comforts of the users.
Dimensions & Packaging: W 1100mm x D 1100mm x H 500 mm
In particular:
Open 1100 mm of diameter.
Close 200 mm of diameter.
Chandelier height: 500 mm.
Besides the comfort of oled light use, it is added an important energy saving.
The chandelier uses not only the oled panels but also its transformation system to minimize the energy delivered; in fact in this way it doesn’t need to increase the power of the lighting sources but only to change thier position to improve the visual comfort on the beneath working surface.
Tags: Lamp, chandelier, smart, oled, satellite, movement, software, energy saving
Production Technology: Materials: brushed aluminum, steel, OLED panels, electronics.
The manufacturing process is done by press,bending, turning and cutting the elements.
Hereabove it is possible throughout a system of mobile stemswhich bend the extremely light oled panels allowing the direct light on the underlying working area. An electrical box coordinates all the system and connects the chandelier to the mobile devices.
Design Challenge: Today the objects are smart,but I want CLEVER objects; not just for being connected and automated, but in their design as well. Being
online just allows them more immediate and powerful characteristics. The challenge here was to create a
smart and sensitive object not only using high technology, but also turning something ordinary into
something more, making it very user friendly and giving it a unique design and concept.
Research: I wanted to focus on the user experience and try to combine a functional tool and an image archetype in order to produce an innovative object that guarantees flexibility and functionality, while keeping that familiarity of the object we're used to seeing. By using these familiar images, creating a hybrid of parallel world and languages, we decontextualize these forms and give them new meaning and make our lives better. The object fulfills its task by being innovative, not technological.
Inspiration: The mechanism which contributed to shape the chandelier has been inspired by the artificial satellites which adjusts the position of its own photovoltaic panels, according to its movements. Therefore the panels, instead of intercepting the solar/natural light, irradiate artificial light.
Project Duration: Started in March 2016 and finished in November 2016, in Teramo.
Operation Flow: The transformation, from a triangular base prism to an unidentified illuminating object, occurs independently. Uod is connected via bluetooth to each frequent users mobile, which is the tool used to feel the light on the table during the users work. At this point the oled panels start the orientation until the smartphone will report to the chandelier that the light is enough to do the willed function in the best way.
Therefore the illuminating panels stop themselves.
The app which manages the measurement of the light intensity also has a manual regulation system of the light power and the chandelier’s shape configuration.
