About Atun Produits d'Esclairatge

L'escuretat envolopa, la tèrra es en silenci, lor creator repòsa dins son orizont. A l'alba, levat de l'orizont, brilhant coma lo disc de jorn, levatz l'escuretat, donatz vòstres rais, e las doas tèrras son en festivitat Grand Imne d'Aton. Aqueste produit es estat inspirat del simbòl faraonic d'equilibri, de fòrça e de reïncarnacion Djed. Lo Djed èra levat las nuèches las mai fredas e las mai escuras de l'annada coma un rapèl per se reconnectar a la lutz de la justícia.

Production Technology
I start from drawing the sketch, Passing through AutoCAD program then 3D MAX and CNC milling, In the production process we use a sample manual lathe machine and Laser cutter, The materials used in the design are environment-friendly, recycled and can be sustainable. These same materials were used by the Ancient Egyptians in their crafts, 1.Asersus wood 2.Alabaster Marble 3.Marmar Stone 4.Borosilicate glass 5. gold plated copper.
Design Challenge
The challenge was to design new lighting products that is shaped to be related to the Ancient Egyptian Civilization and the integration between the cultural design and emotional design.
Research
The entire research is integrated around the ancient Egyptian beliefs and about the importance of light and what it represents to the ancient Egyptian. We found the great Hymn of Akhtitatun to Aten that was found in the cemetery in the tombs of Tell El-Amarna, and how Djed hieroglyph was a pillar-like symbol that represented stability. It was also sometimes used to represent Osiris himself.
Inspiration
Darkness envelops, the land is in silence, their creator is resting in his horizon.
At daybreak, arisen from the horizon, shining as the disk in day,
you remove the darkness, you grant your rays,
and the two lands are in festival
Great Aten Hymn.
This product has been inspired from the Pharaonic symbol of balance, strength and reincarnation Djed. The Djed was raised on the coldest, darkest nights of the year as a reminder of to reconnect to the light of righteousness.
