About The Intelligent Eggshell Lamp Lucerna Nocturna Porcellanea

Lucerna Ovi Testae Intellegens est lucerna nocturna porcellanea quae porcellanam ovi testae manu factam cum imperio vocis coniungit. Umbraculum per plus quam quadraginta operis procedendi rationes, repetitam expolitionem et caelaturam, atque tres ustiones formatur, quod parieti crassitudinem intra unum millimetrum praebet. Puncta, lineae et superficies caelatae lucent sicut caelum nocturnum cum lucerna accenditur. Involucrum fastigatum curvatum est ut in manu sedeat et casui resistat. Lumen voce accenditur et exstinguitur, ita ut manus liberae maneant. Consilium spectat ad artem popularem traditam reviviscendam.

Production Technology: The eggshell porcelain has to go through more than 40 working procedures and hundreds of times of repeated fettling and carving, burnt in three times, finally the thickness of the porcelain is within 1 mm.
Design Challenge: One of the challenges is to improve the qualified rate of good porcelain because it is too thin to keep the shape during firing. The other is how to assemble the porcelain lampshade onto the electronic components accurately.
Inspiration: We are a product design company from jingdezhen, a famous porcelain capital in China and abroad.
We found out that eggshell porcelain, in the past, was the best product for the emperor, with exquisite workmanship. However, at present, they are too traditional and old fashion to be liked by young people.
Therefore, we hope that through modern design language, these folk arts that may not conform to the functions and aesthetics of contemporary society can be revived.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2019 in Jingdezhen and finished in December 2019 in Jingdezhen.
Operation Flow: It is a combination of traditional hand-made eggshell porcelain and modern voice control light.
It can be either an ornament or a useful product, you can say Hi to ask it open or close the light which can have your hands free.
Patents: Patenting. Waitting for the result.
