Kupu Pukapuka: He rama āhua a Ning e ahu ana i te pōtaka e hurihuri ana, hei whakamahi mō ngā pā, ngā rūma me ētahi atu wāhi o roto whare. Ka mura te rama i te wā ka tīmata te pōtaka ki te hurihuri, ā, ka noho mura tonu tae noa ki te mutu o te hurihuri. Ka hangaia a Ning mai i te karaihe hangaruatia, ā, ko te tūāpapa i hangaia mai i te konumohe hangaruatia. Kua whakanohoia ngā autō kaha ki raro o te pōtaka, i te mea kua whakaurua he waeine hiko-autō me ngā rama LED ki roto. Ka whakakīia te pōtaka i mua i tōna whakamahinga, ā, ka whakaputa i te rama i tana urupare ki te autō hiko o te tūāpapa. Ko tēnei hoahoa e whakaata ana i te taurite i waenganui i te tangata me te taiao.

Unique Properties: "Ning" is a spinning top interactive light. When it starts to spin, the light turns on it will not end until you stop it. Ning can use in bars, rooms, airplanes, etc. Bringing users a stable mood. Ideally, the gyro would continue to spin, but the energy would be against the ground. Just as people use natural resources to develop the economy, friction with nature. When it is out of balance, both will fall. Hope we can balance humans and nature to make society and the environment co-prosperous.
Dimensions & Packaging: 70mm x 70mm x 60mm
Tags: Grace, Exquisite, Bionic, Ornament, sustainable, life, art, nature, Easy to use, glass craftsmanship
Production Technology: "Ning" is made of recycled glass as a whole, the bottom is made of strong magnets, the base is made of recycled aluminum, and the electromagnet modules and LED lights are embedded inside.
Design Challenge: The development of the prototype took many hours of experimentation, including styling, material, and motor configuration, because it uses recycled glass, the thickness and density of the glass are very important considerations.
Research: Through research, it has been found that people today are Excessive stress causes many emotional disorders interacting with lamps through design can make people feel therapeutic.
The principle of conservation of angular kinetic energy in physics mentions that in an ideal state, the gyro will continue to rotate, but the energy of the gyro is consumed due to friction with the ground during rotation.
Just as people continue to use nature's resources in development, and have friction with nature, when energy is out of balance, both will fall.
Inspiration: "Ning" means tranquility and peaceful emotions in oriental Chinese characters. We hope that this lamp can provide people with a sense of peace in their hearts, and feel healing through the process of turning the summit. The origin of the gyro can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It is called Qianqian. It is a game in the palace. Later, it became popular among the people. It has a history and culture of four to five hundred years.The shape refers to the Turkish whirling dance and Mount Fuji.
Project Duration: The project began in October 2022 in Taipei and ended in stages in November 2022.
Operation Flow: Charge Ning first, then rotate the gyro on the base after it is fully charged, when the gyro responds to the electromagnet of the base, it will start to glow and rotate.
