The Design

About Pagoda デスクランプ

Pagodaは、外部スイッチを設けずに設計されたデスクランプです。塔（パゴダ）形状のシェルの内部に光源を収めており、操作機能は形状そのものに統合されています。使用者は上部に手を添え、時計回りに回すことで点灯し、明るさを上げることができます。反時計回りに回すと明るさが下がり、消灯します。シェルにはチーク材を使用し、安定性と耐摩耗性を高めるために乾燥処理を施しています。木材は熱伝導が緩やかなため、表面には温かみのある感触が生まれます。本体寸法は10×10×20センチメートルです。

A unique and affordable lamp has great market value. Desk lamp basically is Illumination action, facilitate reading, study, work. As the ceaseless development of desk lamp appearance, modelling, desk lamp has far exceeded the value of desk lamp itself, the desk lamp has become an artwork.
Inspiration: I got my inspiration from Buddhist pagodas. The luminous pagodas represent the sacred meaning of Buddhism and the path to enlightenment, providing wisdom to the world through the holy light. And we used this meaning to design this lamp. The lamp is also a product for lighting up the night. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this lamp opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2022 in Milan and finished in February 2023 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2023.
Operation Flow: First, users connect the pagoda to a power source. Second, place your hand on the top and rotate the shape clockwise to light it up. Third, continue pushing clockwise to increase brightness. Finally, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the light, push the bulb counterclockwise.
