About X Modular Lamp Modular na Lampara

Ang X Modular Lamp ay isang sistema ng ilaw na maaaring baguhin ang ayos para sa mga residensyal at komersyal na espasyo. Nakasentro ang disenyo sa isang X-hinge na mekanismo na may dalawang umiikot na frame na hugis-X. Inaayos ng mga gumagamit ang mga frame gamit ang kamay upang baguhin ang direksyon ng ilaw at ang eskultural na anyo. Maaaring pagsamahin ang lampara sa iba pang mga module, isabit mula sa kisame, o ilagay sa isang patungan. Ang bawat module ay natutupi nang patag para sa maluwag na transportasyon at pag-iimbak. Ang istruktura ay gawa sa aluminum alloy, at ang diffuser ay gawa sa acrylic. Ang mga magnetic connector ay nagbibigay-daan sa pag-assemble nang walang mga kagamitan.

Unique Properties
Centered around a patented X-hinge mechanism, this reconfigurable lighting system features two rotating X-shaped frames that users can manually adjust for both directional lighting and sculptural expression. It supports diverse configurations—from combined installations to ceiling-hung or surface placement—and fully collapses into a flat-pack state. This enables efficient, sustainable transport and storage, making it adaptable across various residential and commercial spaces.

Production Technology
The production of the X Modular Lamp relies on precision metalworking and assembly techniques. The main structure is formed from aluminum alloy profiles using CNC machining to ensure the accuracy and strength of the X-shaped frames. The core rotating damping hinge is achieved through high-precision die-casting and a custom spring system, enabling smooth and stable angle adjustment. The surface finish employs environmentally friendly anodizing or electrostatic powder coating processes, balancing durability with texture. Electrical connections between components utilize concealed magnetic contacts and standardized cables, allowing for safe and quick tool-free assembly. The overall design adheres to DFA (Design for Assembly) principles, enabling complex functionality to be realized through a streamlined and efficient industrial process.
Design Challenge
The most challenging aspect was translating the complex mechanical concept of a "dynamic light-shadow device" into a reliable, cost-effective, and mass-producible product. This required balancing aesthetic minimalism, a smooth manual rotation feel, and structural durability. We overcame this through extensive prototyping, ultimately developing a composite central axle with precision springs and custom grease. Externally, stringent cost and manufacturing constraints for the high-precision hinge were addressed by collaborating closely with suppliers to optimize mold design and assembly processes, achieving the desired performance with standardized components.
Research
Our applied design research, combining user observation and prototype testing with designers and end-users, revealed a core need for lighting that adapts to multiple scenarios and simplifies logistics. These insights directly led to the X Lamp's defining features: its transformable X-hinge for flexible use and its flat-pack design for efficient shipping and storage.
Inspiration
The X Modular Lamp is inspired by the folding mechanism of the traditional Chinese "Mazha" stool. Its core X-hinge structure allows the two light frames to rotate and adjust freely, enabling dynamic lighting control while remaining fully collapsible for flat-pack transport.
Project Duration
The project was initiated and completed in 2024, and was exhibited at the Guangzhou Design Exhibition in 2025.
Operation Flow
The user manually rotates the two intersecting "X" frames to freely adjust the light angle and transform the lamp's configuration.
