About Pagoda 枱燈
「寶塔」係一盞冇外置開關嘅枱燈。呢盞燈嘅外殼設計成寶塔形狀,將光源包覆喺內。控制功能融入咗造型當中。用家只需將手放喺頂部,順時針方向旋轉外殼即可開燈同調高光度。逆時針旋轉就可以調暗光度直至熄燈。外殼採用柚木製造,經過乾燥處理以提升穩定性同耐磨性。木材傳熱較慢,所以表面觸感溫潤。呢盞燈嘅尺寸為10 x 10 x 20厘米。

And we used this meaning to design this lamp. The lamp is also a product for lighting up the night. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this lamp opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
