The Design

About The Porthole Luminária de Parede

A Porthole é uma luminária de parede inspirada na janela da cabine de um avião. A luz é controlada deslizando-se o painel da cortina para cima. A luminária torna-se mais brilhante à medida que a cortina se abre, atingindo o brilho máximo quando o painel está completamente aberto. A forma familiar torna o funcionamento fácil de compreender, sem necessidade de instruções. O painel de LED é revestido com nanopartículas de peróxido de sódio que dispersam a luz e separam os diferentes comprimentos de onda, produzindo um efeito semelhante ao da luz solar atravessando a atmosfera. A luminária de parede mede 225 por 300 por 55 milímetros.

With creative design touches emotion , the light does not have to make people feel like a light, and the space people in does not have to feel like its in there room. This kind of "emotional" wall light is in lack.

The wall light will remind people of their time spent on the airplane, heading to destination on travel, and full of joy and excitement.
