About Sukun 充电式台灯

Sukun是一款采用石灰华制成的台灯，其设计灵感源于土耳其和西班牙特定建筑中的几何纹样。上盖板加工出六种图案，营造出2700K的光线输出。台灯向上和向下投光，在表面形成柔和的氛围照明与功能照明，同时有效控制眩光。设计采用水刀切割与CNC机械加工技术成型图案开孔，并保留材料的天然质感。Sukun适用于阅读区、生活空间以及酒店餐桌等场景。

Unique Properties: Sukun is a rechargeable table lamp made from Turkish travertine. Six Islamic geometric patterns referenced from landmark sites in Turkiye and Spain filter a 2700K warm up and down light to create a calm, glare reduced ambience. Waterjet and cnc machining preserve crisp geometry with natural stone texture.
Dimensions & Packaging: dimensions: diameter 250 mm x height 300 mm
light source: Integrated led, 2700k
optics: up and down light
power: rechargeable battery
charging: usb c cable and adapter
runtime: 6 to 8 hours
control: 3 step phase dimming
material: Turkish travertine

Production Technology: Body in Turkish travertine. The patterned top is cut by waterjet and refined with cnc machining; edges are hand finished. An integrated led module provides 2700k warm light in up and down directions. A concealed rechargeable power system enables cordless use and supports indoor and outdoor scenarios.
Design Challenge: The main challenge was machining fine perforations in travertine without chipping while maintaining sufficient thickness and structural stability. Light quality required iterations to reduce hotspots and glare by balancing pattern density with up and down emission, and integrating the rechargeable system inside a minimal stone volume.
Research: Type of research: material and pattern study.
Research objectives: apply Islamic geometric patterns to travertine and filter 2700K light for calm use.
Methodology: analyze six sites, reconstruct motifs with Eric Broug resources, prototype.
Data collection and research tools used: photos, cad, waterjet, cnc, light tests.
Participants or experiments: six pattern variants.
Results, insights and impacts: pattern density shapes comfort and the stone character remains.
Effect of the research in real life: portable stone lighting for reading and dining.
Inspiration: Sukun was inspired by Islamic geometric motifs encountered while growing up in Turkiye and a desire to see this pattern language beyond wood, especially on travertine and stone for everyday use. Guided by Eric Broug studies, six motifs were reinterpreted from sites in konya, kayseri, karaman, cordoba, valladolid, and granada.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2025 in Istanbul, Turkiye and was completed in February 2026 in Istanbul, Turkiye.
Operation Flow: The lamp is placed on a table and operated via a simple control. When switched on, 2700K warm light passes through the carved pattern to create a soft ambient glow upward, while the downward component provides functional illumination on the surface. The light is designed to be comfortable for reading, resting, and dining.
