About Froggie Borðlampi

Froggie er borðlampi innblásinn af tvöföldu lífi froskdýra milli lands og vatns. Hönnunin fangar augnablikið þegar froskur rís upp yfir vatnsyfirborðið. Augu Froggie þjóna sem tveir ljósgjafar, á meðan sýnilegur líkaminn fyrir ofan vatnið myndar undirstöðuna. Bæði augun eru sveigjanleg, svo hægt er að stilla lögun augnanna í mismunandi stöður til að skapa fjölbreytt ljósáhrif. Snertiskynjarahnappur er staðsettur í hverri nös, þannig að hægt er að kveikja og slökkva á hvoru ljósi fyrir sig. Froggie kannar lífeftirlíkingu sem uppsprettu leikandi hönnunar.

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.
