About The Intelligent Eggshell Lamp 瓷质夜灯

智能蛋壳瓷灯是一款将手工蛋壳瓷工艺与语音控制相结合的瓷质夜灯。灯罩历经四十余道工序，反复修坯、雕刻，并经三次烧成，壁厚控制在1毫米以内。点亮时，镂雕的点、线、面如夜空繁星般透光发亮。锥形灯身线条弧度贴合手掌，握持舒适且不易倾倒。通过语音即可开关灯光，让双手得以解放。该设计旨在让传统民间工艺重焕新生。

Production Technology: The eggshell porcelain has to go through more than 40 working procedures and hundreds of times of repeated fettling and carving, burnt in three times, finally the thickness of the porcelain is within 1 mm.
Design Challenge: One of the challenges is to improve the qualified rate of good porcelain because it is too thin to keep the shape during firing. The other is how to assemble the porcelain lampshade onto the electronic components accurately.
Inspiration: We are a product design company from jingdezhen, a famous porcelain capital in China and abroad.
We found out that eggshell porcelain, in the past, was the best product for the emperor, with exquisite workmanship. However, at present, they are too traditional and old fashion to be liked by young people.
Therefore, we hope that through modern design language, these folk arts that may not conform to the functions and aesthetics of contemporary society can be revived.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2019 in Jingdezhen and finished in December 2019 in Jingdezhen.
