The Design

About Atun Produtos De Iluminação

A escuridão envolve, a terra está em silêncio, seu criador está descansando em seu horizonte. Ao raiar do dia, surgindo do horizonte, brilhando como o disco durante o dia, você remove a escuridão, concede seus raios e as duas terras estão em festival Grande Aton Hymn. Este produto foi inspirado no símbolo faraônico de equilíbrio, força e reencarnação Djed. O Djed foi criado nas noites mais frias e escuras do ano como um lembrete para se reconectar à luz da retidão.

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.
