About The Porthole ウォールライト

「ポートホール」は、航空機客室の窓から着想を得たウォールライトです。シェードパネルを上方向にスライドさせることで点灯を操作し、シェードが開くにつれて明るさが増し、パネルを完全に開くと最大の明るさに達します。誰もが見慣れた形状のため、説明がなくても直感的に操作方法を理解できます。LEDパネルには光を散乱させ、異なる波長を分離する過酸化ナトリウムのナノ粒子がコーティングされており、大気を透過する太陽光のような効果を生み出します。ウォールライトの寸法は225×300×55ミリメートルです。

Research: The wall light is not only an object hang on the wall. As it's on, its lighting panel can bring unlimited imagination. With creative design touches emotion , the light does not have to make people feel like a light, and the space people in does not have to feel like its in there room. This kind of "emotional" wall light is in lack.
Inspiration: The inspiration is taken from the porthole of the airplane. Every time on the plane, the joy and the excitement for the trip inside my body.When turn up the window and light exudes,it feels like turn on the light. The wall light will remind people of their time spent on the airplane, heading to destination on travel, and full of joy and excitement. We want to bring these feelings to people, especially under the Coronavirus when people have to stay at home, we may feel lonely, sad, depressed, but when we turn up the light, look through “The Porthole”, it seems like we are on the plane at present, looking out the window, ready to face a brand new day.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2021 and finished in Feburary 2022 in Shanghai.
