About Flex 다기능 조명

Flex는 두 개의 테이블 램프와 하나의 플로어 램프로 구성된 가정용 조명 시리즈입니다. 각 조명은 원목 발광 유닛, 네오디뮴 볼, 메탈 폴과 베이스로 이루어져 있습니다. 자석 결합 방식으로 발광 유닛이 스탠드에 연결되어 원하는 어느 방향으로든 자유롭게 회전시킬 수 있습니다. 또한 발광 유닛을 분리한 뒤 자석 액세서리를 이용해 다른 표면에 고정할 수 있어 월 램프로도 활용이 가능합니다. 원목 하우징에 내장된 터치 센서로 세 단계의 밝기를 조절할 수 있습니다. 목재는 왁스로 마감하여 자연스러운 질감을 그대로 살렸습니다.

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.
