About Linear Refraction 檯燈、氛圍燈

線性折射係為中國麗水一間設計酒店打造嘅檯燈同氛圍燈。呢盞燈將線性LED光管接駁到源自浦江嘅水晶玻璃底座。底座內藏一層彩色內層，可將白光折射成多種色調，猶如彩虹。呢盞燈提供兩種使用模式。水平擺放時，可作為可調校嘅閱讀燈。垂直豎立時，光線於水晶底座內部散發，營造出繽紛氛圍。透過觸控操作可開關同調光，並會記憶上次嘅設定。

Tags: Linear, Light, Crystal Glass, Art, Hotel
Production Technology: The material of the light base is made from the highest quality crystal with a colorful sticker inner. The crystal is from Pujiang, the crystal kingdom of China. All the material of the light tube is made in Taiwan and assembled manually.
Design Challenge: Considering the different demands of travelers and the product’s duration, artist Ray Teng Pai spent much time adjusting the details of the product. From designing to making, the design team not only creates original design style and art performance but also merges sensibility and rationality to realize practical value. Challenging the limit of manufacturing art and fuse traditional craft and unique conception, Ray practiced the aesthetic value of light and shadow.
Inspiration: The design of the Linear Refraction series is inspired by the phenomenon known as the rainbow.
The crystal glass base embodies the water vapor in the air, refracting white light into a multitude of colors. The inspired use of this crystal clear design makes the Linear Refraction - Desk Light an exquisite art installation of both form and function.
Project Duration: The project started in October 2019 in Taipei and finished in March 2020 in Lishui.
Operation Flow: There are two modes of usage. When laying down the linear light horizontally, it becomes an adjustable reading light. When sitting it up vertically, the light illuminates from within the crystal glass base to create a colorful fantasy atmosphere.
A light touch at the end of the linear tip simply turns on or off the light. A long touch, however, can brighten or dim a given light. The Linear light remembers the previous setting, thus it always lights up smoothly at your expected volume.
