About Crystal Rama Tēpu Whakahiko

He rama tēpu whakahiko whakawāwāhi a Crystal i hangaia mō te whakamarama taiao. Ka honoa e te rama tēnei tūnga konganuku me ētahi wāhanga o te travertine māori nō Peina. Ka mahi ia wāhanga travertine hei rama whakahiko ahokore motuhake, ā, ka taea te whakamahi takitahi, te whakakotahi rānei ki ētahi atu. Mā ngā hononga autō e āhei ai te whakaraupapa herekore, ā, ka whakahikohia anō ngā wāhanga ina whakahokia ki te tūāpapa. Ka kā te rama ina whakanohoia he karāhe ki runga i te mata. Mā te pātōtō māmā e whakarite ai i te kanapa, ā, mā te pēhi roa e huri ai i te pāmahana tae. Ka taea ngā aratau whakamarama anō te whakarite mā tētahi taupānga pūkoro.

Unique Properties: This is a modular smart charging lamp that combines a metal stand with multiple pieces of Spanish natural travertine. Its design features include each travertine piece functioning as an independent wireless charging light unit, supporting free combination and individual use. The product integrates the artistic beauty of natural materials with smart modular technology, and through its dedicated base lighting solution for whiskey glassware, achieves an organic combination of practical functionality and specific scenario atmosphere creation.
Dimensions & Packaging: Large desk lamp: 313mm x 249mm x 249mm, Medium desk lamp: 240mm x 128mm x 128mm, Small desk lamp: 175mm x 128mm x 128mm, Single coaster: 100mm x 100mm x 10mm
Tags: Modular, Natural Travertine, Wireless Charging, Scenario-based Lighting, Ambient Lighting Effects
Production Technology: The product body utilizes a metal base and stand that undergo CNC precision machining, with surfaces finished by sandblasting and anodizing. Spanish natural travertine is processed through digital cutting and thickness optimization, with embedded wireless charging coils and LED light source modules. The travertine fixing structure is manufactured using injection molding to ensure uniform light transmission. The intelligent control system integrates touch chips and Bluetooth modules, supporting APP-programmable dimming, while the entire circuit system employs potting technology to enhance stability.
Design Challenge: The core challenge of this project lies in balancing the material characteristics of natural travertine with the functional requirements of smart lighting. The design team conducted meticulous research, optimizing the light transmitting layer through optical simulations, adopting customized micro circuit solutions, and utilizing magnetic connection technology, ultimately achieving an organic integration of artistic form and technological functionality.
Research: High-end users' demands for lighting have evolved beyond mere illumination, shifting towards scene atmosphere creation. The modular travertine lamp has emerged in response, combining natural materials with wireless charging technology. It not only meets specific scenario needs like whiskey tasting but also enables personalized lighting effects through free combination. This design represents a new direction for smart homes by integrating art and technology.
Inspiration: The core concept of this project stems from insights into the demand for personalized high-end lighting. By integrating the raw texture of Spanish natural travertine with the specific lighting atmosphere requirements of whisky tasting, combined with modular design and wireless charging technology, each travertine unit becomes an independent light source. These units can be freely combined to create personalized lighting effects while perfectly meeting the atmosphere creation needs of high-end social scenarios such as whisky tasting.
Project Duration: Designed in Shanghai, September 2025
Operation Flow: The product activates automatically when a glass is placed. A light tap on the surface adjusts brightness, while a long-press switches the color temperature. Users can select from various lighting modes and create custom scenes via the mobile app. The modular travertine units feature magnetic attachment for free arrangement, functioning as a complete fixture or individual ambient lights. With the wireless charging base, the units automatically begin charging when returned, ensuring ready availability.
