About Pagoda Kikalio cha Meza

Pagoda ni kikalio cha meza kilichobuniwa bila swichi ya nje. Kikalio hiki kina ganda lenye umbo la pagoda linalofunika chanzo cha mwanga ndani yake. Udhibiti umeunganishwa moja kwa moja na umbo lenyewe. Watumiaji huweka mkono juu na kuzungusha umbo hilo kwa mzunguko wa saa ili kuwasha mwanga na kuongeza ung'avu wake. Kuzungusha kinyume cha saa hupunguza ung'avu na hatimaye kuzima mwanga. Ganda hili limetengenezwa kwa mbao za mtiki, ambazo hukaushwa ili kuongeza uthabiti na uwezo wa kustahimili mikwaruzo. Mbao huifanya joto kusambaa kwa upole, hivyo uso wa kikalio huhisi wa joto. Kikalio hiki kina vipimo vya sentimeta 10 kwa 10 kwa 20.

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
I got my inspiration from Buddhist pagodas. The luminous pagodas represent the sacred meaning of Buddhism and the path to enlightenment, providing wisdom to the world through the holy light. And we used this meaning to design this lamp. The lamp is also a product for lighting up the night. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this lamp opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2022 in Milan and finished in February 2023 in that place, and was exhibited in China in February 2023.
Operation Flow
First, users connect the pagoda to a power source. Second, place your hand on the top and rotate the shape clockwise to light it up. Third, continue pushing clockwise to increase brightness. Finally, if you want to lower the brightness or turn off the light, push the bulb counterclockwise.
