About Magpie 台灯

喜鹊是一款以展翅飞鸟为造型的台灯。通过位于圆柱形灯身底部的单一触控按键,灯具可在三种形态之间切换。第一种形态下,双翼保持收拢,光线细微而柔和,适合置于床边使用。第二种形态下,鸟首抬升,光线随之变亮,适合办公与学习场景。第三种形态下,双翼完全展开,照亮范围更为宽广。灯身采用金属材质并施以金色饰面,灯罩则由半透明材料制成。

2）Form display problem.
There are three different forms of“Magpie Lamp". How to make the three forms change smoothly without affecting the lighting is a big problem.
3）Integrated circuit problem, circuit series problem.
There are three forms of " Magpie Lamp". Under different forms, the circuit direction is also different, but there is only one switch. How to make the perfect splicing of internal circuits has become the biggest challenge of the project.
