Quietvale is a portable desk lamp with a wireless charging function for personal devices. The lamp body is made from a single piece of Spanish cloud stone shaped by CNC carving and finished with a transparent protective coating. The base is formed by traditional sand casting to create a metal frame, which holds the wireless charging module and the battery pack inside. A hidden metal structure supports the stone during movement. A light touch on the lamp body switches the light on or off, and a hand held in front of the lamp adjusts the brightness.

Production Technology
The lamp body is crafted from a solid piece of Spanish cloud stone shaped by CNC carving, with a transparent protective coating applied to the surface. The base is formed through traditional sand-casting to create the metal frame, integrating wireless charging modules and lithium battery packs internally. The cloud stone and metal structure are connected with hidden snap-fit fasteners, while all wiring is enclosed within the frame, seamlessly integrating functionality and aesthetics.
Design Challenge
The most challenging aspect of this design was balancing the substantial texture of natural cloud stone with the structural strength required for portability. To ensure the stability of the fragile stone during mobile use, the team conducted repeated tests and ultimately adopted a composite structure with a hidden metal frame and partial lining. This solution maintains the stone's visual integrity while meeting the mechanical demands of portable usage.
Project Duration
Designed in Shanghai in June 2025
Operation Flow
Gently touch any part of the lamp body to turn the light on or off. Hover your hand in front of the lamp to adjust the brightness. The lamp can be easily carried to any area in your home that needs lighting.
Research
This research explores combining the timeless quality of natural materials with smart technology. Using Spanish marble and traditional sand-casting preserves its texture and inherent warmth. Integrating smart sensors and a portable design makes the lamp not only a lighting tool but also an adaptive device for modern, mobile lifestyles. The result balances natural aesthetics with practical technology, honoring traditional craftsmanship while meeting contemporary needs.
Inspiration
Quietvale is born from the fusion of texture and function. Drawing inspiration from the warm, natural grain of Spanish alabaster, the base reflects a rustic and grounding aesthetic. To meet contemporary needs, it features portable lighting and device charging. Quietvale seamlessly marries the warmth of nature with smart technology, delivering a lamp that is both a work of art and a practical tool.
