About Crystal Oplaadbare Bureaulamp

Crystal is een modulaire oplaadbare bureaulamp ontworpen voor sfeerverlichting. De lamp combineert een metalen standaard met verschillende stukken Spaans natuurlijk travertijn. Elke travertijnen unit functioneert als een onafhankelijke draadloos oplaadbare lamp en kan afzonderlijk of in combinatie met andere worden gebruikt. Magnetische verbindingen maken een vrije opstelling mogelijk, en de units laden op wanneer ze op de basis worden teruggeplaatst. De lamp schakelt in wanneer een glas op het oppervlak wordt geplaatst. Een lichte tik past de helderheid aan, en een lange druk verandert de kleurtemperatuur. Verdere verlichtingsmodi kunnen worden ingesteld via een mobiele applicatie.

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.
