About Froggie 桌燈
Froggie係一盞桌燈,靈感嚟自兩棲動物喺陸地同水中嘅雙重生活。呢個設計捕捉咗青蛙浮出水面嘅一刻。Froggie嘅眼睛就係兩個光源,而露出水面嘅身體部分就形成咗燈座。兩隻眼睛都可以彎曲,燈光可以調校去唔同角度,營造出多變嘅照明效果。喺每個鼻孔位置都設有觸控感應按鈕,可以分別獨立開關每個光源。Froggie探索仿生學作為趣味設計嘅靈感來源。

- Unique Properties
- Froggie is a desk lamp project that inspires playful creativity. It captures the very moment when a frog rises above water. The eyes are represented as lighting sources, and the exposed body above water as a base.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 256 mm x Depth 165 mm x Height (max.) 310 mm
*Sizes may vary - Tags
- Frog Lamp, Froggie Lighting, Frog Lighting
- Production Technology
- Froggie's eyes are made to be bendable. Each nostril is equipped with a touch sensor button where users can turn on and off each light.
- Design Challenge
- The most challenging part was to figure out proper representations for each design element, for example, how big its eyes should be proportional to the body, and how much its body should be shown, compared to the rest of its submerged part.
- Research
- Froggie is to explore biomimicry in design. It attempts to translate "double life" of Amphibians into lighting design language.
- Inspiration
- Froggie was inspired by "double life" of amphibians between land and water. Frogs have the permeable skin, which allows them to breathe through the skin in water. They also breathe through the nostrils above the water surface or on land.
- Project Duration
- The project began in January 2021 and finished in January 2021 in Banff, Canada.
- Operation Flow
- Users are able to manipulate its eye shapes by adjusting their positions, which could render various lighting effects.
