About Donut Taa ya Mezani

Donut ni taa ya mezani iliyobuniwa kwa ajili ya vyumba vya kulala na maeneo ya kusomea. Taa hii haina swichi inayoonekana. Kivuli chake kina umbo la donati na pia kinatumika kama kidhibiti. Taa hii huwashwa kwa kuweka mkono juu ya kivuli na kukisukuma kwa mzunguko wa saa. Kusukuma zaidi kwa mzunguko wa saa huongeza mwangaza, wakati kusukuma kinyume cha mzunguko wa saa hupunguza mwangaza au kuzima taa. Sehemu ya nje ya kivuli imetengenezwa kwa kitani, ambacho hulainisha mwanga na kuunda mazingira ya joto. Taa hii ina urefu wa sentimeta 15, upana wa sentimeta 15 na kimo cha sentimeta 30.

A unique and affordable lamp has great market value. Desk lamp basically is Illumination action, facilitate reading, study, work. As the ceaseless development of desk lamp appearance, modelling, desk lamp has far exceeded the value of desk lamp itself, the desk lamp has become an artwork.
Inspiration: Just like the name, we got this inspiration from the shape of the donut. Donut is a very popular dessert for many people. We think the shape is very suitable as a lamp because of cuteness. When I was eating the donut, I realized it is a circle shape. Meanwhile the adjustment switch of major desk lamp also is circular. So we combined the switch with the donut to create this design.
Project Duration: The project started in September 2020 in Milan and finished in February 2021 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2021.
Operation Flow: First, users connect the donut to a power source. Second, put the hand on the donut and push the bulb clockwise and the lamp will light up. Third, continue to push clockwise to increase the brightness. Last, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the lamp, push the bulb counterclockwise.
