Unique Properties: Parla is a multi-purpose lamp designed to indirectly encourage users to save energy because with this lamp, there is no need for any other light during the night. This lamp consists of two parts which is charged by placing the upper part of it on the lamp base. Its ergonomic handles have made it easy for users to hold it in their hands and take it anywhere they want. By adjusting the height of the base and the intensity of the light, you can use it either as a study lamp or as a sleeping lamp.

Production Technology: The base part of the lamp is made of Brushed Aluminum metal so that it is both light and durable. The lamp handle is made with plastic so it’s ergonomically suitable to be held by hand. The part that light passes through is made of a semi-transparent plastic. In the base, there is a hinge which can be used to adjust the height. A touch screen is placed in the convex part of the lamp handle with digital keys.
Design Challenge: In fact, the main goal was to create a minimal lighting product, so turning it into a minimal and functional form was one of the most difficult challenges because the bionic form that was extracted from the bird in question was a completely complex and non-functional form.
Research: With extensive research on hidden lighting in interior architecture, as well as the lifestyle and current needs of humans in their living environment and homes which uses excessive amount of energy, inspired us to create a lighting product with a modern yet simple and practical design to prevent waste of energy.
Inspiration: The idea of designing “Parla” came to my mind when I saw the need of people who are afraid of the dark and need a portable light to do things at night. I’ve always been against keeping unnecessary lights in the house on, so I designed such a lamp to save energy. Originally, my inspiration came from a bird called the greater sage grouse which is why at first, this product had a completely bionic form, but during the design process, I finally decided to turn it into a minimal and functional form.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2022 in Tabriz and finished in February 2023 in Tabriz.
Operation Flow: The simplicity of this lamp has made it very user-friendly. The base of the lamp acts as a support and a wireless charger, and its hinge makes it possible to change its height. The convex part of the lamp has a touch screen that contains the on/off switch and a key to adjust the intensity of the light. By default, the light intensity is set to low. Having a battery and an ergonomic handle design makes it easy for users to carry the lamp with themselves.
