Production Technology: CNC machining and profile processing are adopted in the process.Crafting wood by CNC can solve the precision problem of traditional way and be more effective to reduce the cost.So that can be feasible to make products achieve industrial standardization.The materials used in this product include solid wood, aluminum alloy, polymer battery, magnet, LED module and so on.All have passed the domestic 3C certification standard of environmental protection.Solid wood housing is coated with Belgium wax which helps products completely retain the nature texture and delicate touch.
Design Challenge: The difficulty of subversion. Products change from the plug-in electric cable to the wireless charging, from integration to separation,from cold metal to warm wood,from stable and static to mobile.Also, it includes the change of the mechanical connections and electrical connections, and application of magnetic suction with precision and lubrication.All of these need a lot of theoretical thinking,sample test and research.We determined the final proposals present products in minimalist form.
Research: Looking at the world famous reading lamp brand,we can see there are many old-fashioned and stuffy products.Maintaining tradition and professionalism is not an excuse for lockout.It has to be changed.For a new reading lamp design,we collect the global product information to analyze market expectation via data downloads and set following goals.Our products need to be friendly,lightweight,innovative,with prospect of intelligent,economical,especially suitable for dynamic lifestyle of young people.
Inspiration: Inspired by the scene that birds rest on branch,jump and sing happily, rest quietly, and then fly away.With the easily separated structures, this lamp imitates the activity process of birds,which makes the household luminaire more flexible and functional. We select natural wood to develop products for the younger generation.It is light and portable to match the rapid shifts in space and time,which is suitable for free,dynamic lifestyle of the young.We want to create a new user experience of lighting,that is natural, affordable fashion with user-friendly techniques.
