E ki le malamalama e le tagata faaaoga e ala i le liliuina o le float, ma e mumate le malamalama pe a taofi le taamilosaga. O le itu o le taamilosaga e filifili ai le malamalama mafanafana po o le malulu. O Float e fausia mai le polypropylene, alumini, ma le oak paepae, ma e gaosia i ni tulaga e tolu. O le gaoioiga filemu ma mautu o loo faamoemoe e fesoasoani i tagata faaaoga e faagesegese ma taulai atu a o suesue.

Production Technology: Maglev technology. In terms of materials, we choose polypropylene, aluminum and durable white oak.
Design Challenge: The challenge is how to make the float stay stable and for a long time as it turns. Magnetic levitation device makes the overall center of gravity of the lamp unstable. In order to let the lamp center down, we increased the overall weight of a lamp. Useing of aluminum material, makes it durable ,strong and wear – resistant, but the cost will be relatively higher.
Research: Under the concept of slowing down, we should endow lamps with emotion and interesting interactive ways to enhance users' emotional experience in lamps. It uses the magnetic levitation technology, by rotating the float above to make it rotate for a long time to achieve the effect of continuous lighting, The continuous rotation of the float above, the light atmosphere and the smooth rotation of its float will bring the users a peaceful experience, thus quickly entering the state of mindfulness.
Inspiration: In order to allow users to slow down the pace of life in the fast-paced rampant era, to experience the beauty of life. this maglev "floating" light is designed. The product is inspired by "Zen,", the "slow design" concept and emotion applied to this product. The combination of the static and the rotation of the float creates a "Zen" atmosphere and enables people to reach the state of mindfulness.
Project Duration: The project started in July 2021 at Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts of Shenyang, Liaoning, China, and be completed in October 2021.
Operation Flow: Floating lamp is rotated to provide lighting. The user can switch the lamp by rotating the suspended object, and the lamp is turned off when the float stops and the light is lit when it moves. The direction of rotation corresponds to the warm and cold light. It creates a good atmosphere to help users better input in the study. The clever union with magnetic levitation technology increases the lamp’s science and technology sense and interest.
