Airom ndi nyali yapansi yoyimirira payokha ya m'nyumba yomwe imagwiritsa ntchito mpweya ngati chinthu chogwira ntchito popanga mawonekedwe ake. Chophimba chake chimapangidwa ndi pepala lowonera (tracing paper) ndipo chimapeza mawonekedwe ake pokhapokha chikadzazidwa ndi mpweya. Pepalalo limafinyidwa kuti lipange makwinya ang'onoang'ono omwe amapereka kuya ndi kufewa ku kuwala komwe kumatuluka. Zigawo zake zimadulidwa ndi laser ndipo zimalumikizidwa ndi zomatira ziwiri kuti zikhale zolimba kwambiri, ndipo palibe zosungunulira (molds) zomwe zimagwiritsidwa ntchito, choncho nyali iliyonse ndi yapadera. Poyiyika, kuchuluka kwa mpweya kumasinthidwa ndipo chophimba chimapangidwa ndi manja. Nyaliyi ndi yopepuka ndipo imapindidwa mosalala kuti izitheka kunyamulidwa m'katundu wocheperako.

Makhalidwe Apadera: Airom is a lighting product that treats air not as a passive volume but as an active element that gently shapes form. Made of tracing paper the shade gains its shape only when filled with air letting light softly reveal a temporary and changeable state. Formed without molds each unit is inherently unique. Subtle wrinkles in the material give depth and softness to the light while the act of shaping becomes part of the lighting experience.
Miyezo ndi Kuphimba: Airom is an indoor freestanding lighting product composed of tracing paper adhesive and an integrated LED module powered by AC 100V. Its air shaped form creates a soft irregular volume rather than a fixed geometry. Airom is available in three sizes Small W 600mm x D 600mm x H 1000 mm. Medium W 800mm x D 800mm x H 1700 mm. Large W 1000 mm x D 1000mm x H 2000 mm. The structure is lightweight and foldable for compact packaging. Laser cut parts and dual adhesives ensure precision strength and flexibility while a low heat LED enables safe operation.
Zizindikiro: Lamp, Lighting, Light fixture, Paper, Paper Balloon,
Teknoloji Yopangira: Airom uses tracing paper as its primary material for its balance of flexibility and soft light diffusion. The paper is first crumpled to create fine wrinkles that add depth and subtle variation to the emitted light. Parts are precisely cut using a laser cutting machine to ensure repeatable accuracy suitable for production. Two types of adhesive are applied to enhance structural strength. The shade is formed without molds by inflating air enabling a lightweight structure adaptable to variation and production.
Vuto la Dizayini: The main challenge was translating air an invisible and unstable element into a controllable factor within a lighting product. Internally this required redefining the structure of traditional Japanese paper balloons as functional design logic. Externally challenges included material strength safety with an AC 100V light source and mold free production. These issues were addressed through material testing and iterative prototyping.
Kafukufuku: This design research explores air as a formative element in lighting. The objective was to redefine air from an invisible condition into a controllable design parameter. Based on the structure of traditional Japanese paper balloons material experiments and iterative prototyping were conducted using tracing paper and internal light. User interaction determines form and light quality shifting lighting from a fixed object to a participatory spatial experience.
Chilimbikitso: We were inspired by clouds seen in Okinawa natural environment. Shaped by strong sunlight humidity and the surrounding sea clouds continuously change form while remaining suspended in the sky existing without clear outlines. To reinterpret this quality as lighting we focused on traditional Japanese paper balloons whose shape exists only through air and can be freely formed by hand. By combining these elements airom allows air to be perceived through light.
Nthawi ya Polojekiti: The project started in April 2025 and was completed in January 2026. Design development and prototyping were carried out in Okinawa, Japan. The project has not yet been exhibited.
Mdondomeko ya Ntchito: Airom is completed through user interaction. During setup the user introduces air into the shade and shapes it by hand. The final form depends on air volume and gestures making each configuration unique. Even during use the form can be adjusted by changing the air volume allowing the lighting atmosphere to evolve over time.
