About Ning 氛围照明灯

Ning 是一款陀螺造型的氛围灯，适用于酒吧、居室及其他室内空间。陀螺开始旋转时灯光亮起，并在旋转停止前持续发光。Ning 采用再生玻璃制成，底座则由再生铝打造。陀螺底部嵌入强力磁铁，内部则集成了电磁模块与 LED 光源。使用前为陀螺充电，当其与底座的电磁装置产生感应时便会发出光芒。该设计体现了人与自然之间的平衡。

Unique Properties: "Ning" is a spinning top interactive light. When it starts to spin, the light turns on it will not end until you stop it. Ning can use in bars, rooms, airplanes, etc. Bringing users a stable mood. Ideally, the gyro would continue to spin, but the energy would be against the ground. Just as people use natural resources to develop the economy, friction with nature. When it is out of balance, both will fall. Hope we can balance humans and nature to make society and the environment co-prosperous.
Dimensions & Packaging: 70mm x 70mm x 60mm
Tags: Grace, Exquisite, Bionic, Ornament, sustainable, life, art, nature, Easy to use, glass craftsmanship
Production Technology: "Ning" is made of recycled glass as a whole, the bottom is made of strong magnets, the base is made of recycled aluminum, and the electromagnet modules and LED lights are embedded inside.
Design Challenge: The development of the prototype took many hours of experimentation, including styling, material, and motor configuration, because it uses recycled glass, the thickness and density of the glass are very important considerations.
Research: Through research, it has been found that people today are Excessive stress causes many emotional disorders interacting with lamps through design can make people feel therapeutic.
The principle of conservation of angular kinetic energy in physics mentions that in an ideal state, the gyro will continue to rotate, but the energy of the gyro is consumed due to friction with the ground during rotation.
Just as people continue to use nature's resources in development, and have friction with nature, when energy is out of balance, both will fall.
Inspiration: "Ning" means tranquility and peaceful emotions in oriental Chinese characters. We hope that this lamp can provide people with a sense of peace in their hearts, and feel healing through the process of turning the summit. The origin of the gyro can be traced back to the Song Dynasty. It is called Qianqian. It is a game in the palace. Later, it became popular among the people. It has a history and culture of four to five hundred years.The shape refers to the Turkish whirling dance and Mount Fuji.
Project Duration: The project began in October 2022 in Taipei and ended in stages in November 2022.
Operation Flow: Charge Ning first, then rotate the gyro on the base after it is fully charged, when the gyro responds to the electromagnet of the base, it will start to glow and rotate.
