About Flex Primärfunktioun: Multifunktionell Lamp

Flex ass eng Serie vu Stellampe fir doheem, déi zwou Dëschlampen an eng Buedemlamp ëmfaasst. All Lamp besteet aus enger Liichteenheet aus massivem Holz, engem Neodym-Ball, enger Metallstang an engem Sockel. Eng magnetesch Verbindung verbënnt d'Liichteenheet mam Stänner an erméiglecht et, d'Liichteenheet an all Richtung ze dréinen. D'Liichteenheet kann och ofgeholl an op aner Uewerflächen mat magnetesche Accessoiren fixéiert ginn, sou datt se als Wandlamp ka benotzt ginn. En Touchsensor am Holzgehäuse stellt dräi Helegkeetsniveauen an. D'Holz ass mat Wuess iwwerzunn, fir seng natierlech Textur ze erhalen.

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.
