The Design

About Third Pole Instrumentum Lecti

Tertius Polus est instrumentum lecti quattuor partium pro cubiculo designatum. Instrumentum e serico filis tinctis textura iacquardica confectum est, et nativus splendor serici lucem in glaciebus refert. Ornamenta e glaciebus et equis montanis Altiplani Tibetani ducuntur. Duae species praebentur, Caeruleum Glaciale et Aurum Lavicum, quarum utraque diversum animi habitum creat. Structura textoria unita, tria in uno, ornamentum principale in lectis metrorum 1.8 et 2 plene ostendit. Superficies serica calorem temperat et in cute lenis sentitur.

Production Technology: The four piece bedding set is crafted using premium silk yarn dyed jacquard weaving. The natural luster of silk mimics the changing reflections of glaciers under light. The yarn dyed weaving allows colors to shift with changes in perspective, ensuring long lasting color brilliance. Silk, rich in 18 amino acids, provides bidirectional thermal regulation, helping maintain skin moisture and delivering a comfortable, skinfriendly sensation. Its smooth surface creates a soothing sleeping environment.
Design Challenge: Translating the abstract spiritual healing into a perceivable physical experience is a big challenge. The design concretizes this through two key visual symbols, glacier and highland steed, and employs premium silk yarn dyed jacquard weaving to allow the pattern and colors to shift with changes in light and perspectives. Through visual and tactile interactions, users can intuitively perceive both tranquility and energy, evoking a resonance at the spiritual level.
Research: Modern urban dwellers often face mental stress and sleep disturbances. Research shows that the visual impression of bedding can influence sleep quality and emotional state, while natural imagery and specific colors can promote relaxation. The design team uses tranquil Tibetan glaciers and the free highland steeds as the core narrative elements and draws on color psychology to create Ice Blue and Lava Gold, forming a bedding set that soothes emotions and enhances sleep quality.
Inspiration: The design draws inspiration from the grandeur and spirituality of the Tibetan Plateau. Using glacier as its central motif, it captures its immense energy resting in absolute stillness, reflecting aspirations of modern people for a calm yet powerful state of life. The highland steed serves as a visual symbol representing faith, progress, and freedom, bringing a sense of vitality to the tranquil bedroom.
Project Duration: The project was launched in Namcha Barwa, Medog County, Nyingchi, Tibet, China, in November 2024 and completed in Changsha, Hunan, China, in January 2025.
Operation Flow: The product is available in Ice Blue and Lava Gold, each evoking a distinct emotional experience. Ice Blue combines blue and black to evoke a serene and rational ambiance, promoting deep relaxation. Lava Gold merges gold and purple, radiating a mysterious charm and symbolizing a spiritual journey from introspection to awaking. The unified 3 in 1 weaving construction ensures that the main pattern is fully displayed when laid on 1.8 m or 2 m beds, ensuring the artistic integrity of the design.
