About Atun 照明产品

黑暗笼罩，大地一片寂静，它们的创造者在地平线上安息。黎明时分，从地平线升起，像白天的圆盘一样闪耀，你消除了黑暗，你赐予了你的光芒，两片土地都在庆祝伟大的阿顿赞美诗。该产品的灵感源自法老象征平衡、力量和轮回的 Djed。 Djed 在一年中最寒冷、最黑暗的夜晚升起，提醒人们重新接触正义之光。

Production Technology: I start from drawing the sketch, Passing through AutoCAD program then 3D MAX and CNC milling, In the production process we use a sample manual lathe machine and Laser cutter, The materials used in the design are environment-friendly, recycled and can be sustainable. These same materials were used by the Ancient Egyptians in their crafts, 1.Asersus wood 2.Alabaster Marble 3.Marmar Stone 4.Borosilicate glass 5. gold plated copper.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to design new lighting products that is shaped to be related to the Ancient Egyptian Civilization and the integration between the cultural design and emotional design.
Research: The entire research is integrated around the ancient Egyptian beliefs and about the importance of light and what it represents to the ancient Egyptian. We found the great Hymn of Akhtitatun to Aten that was found in the cemetery in the tombs of Tell El-Amarna, and how Djed hieroglyph was a pillar-like symbol that represented stability. It was also sometimes used to represent Osiris himself.
Inspiration: Darkness envelops, the land is in silence, their creator is resting in his horizon.
At daybreak, arisen from the horizon, shining as the disk in day,
you remove the darkness, you grant your rays,
and the two lands are in festival
Great Aten Hymn.
This product has been inspired from the Pharaonic symbol of balance, strength and reincarnation Djed. The Djed was raised on the coldest, darkest nights of the year as a reminder of to reconnect to the light of righteousness.
