About Churros 照明

佢發現多重排列嘅感覺喺東亞文化入面會令人有種熟悉嘅感覺,呢種感覺反映喺水車、茶刷、卷軸、竹簾、扇同燈籠框架呢啲物件上面。呢啲複雜、幾何嘅形態以線條方式不斷重複,啟發咗設計者創造出呢款細長形嘅Churros燈。呢個係全新演繹嘅舊式燈管。Churros將木條嘅溫暖質感同極簡主義嘅秩序感結合埋一齊,營造出立體感,同時提供向上同向下嘅光線,令照明更加均勻,並且加強咗空間嘅層次感。

Production Technology: The goal of the Churros Lighting Collection is indeed to reuse materials from the original space. This approach not only minimizes waste but also ensures that each lamp is uniquely tied to its environment, emphasizing sustainability through the repurposing of local resources. The design aims to reduce the environmental footprint by integrating recycled materials, promoting a circular economy, and supporting localized craftsmanship.
Inspiration: In the 19th century, the invention of the light tube led to the creation of explosion-proof lights for industrial use—now iconic vintage items. What if we reimagined an industrial-style explosion-proof light tube with an Oriental twist?

We found that the sense of multiple arrays resonates in East Asian culture, appearing in objects like water wheels, bamboo blinds, and lanterns. This inspired the creation of the elongated lamp resembling "churros."
Project Duration: The lighting design started in 2023 and finished in May in 2024, and was launched in 2024 in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: Functionally, it offers both upward and downward light sources, providing even illumination on tabletops while also offering indirect lighting above the lamp, enhancing the spatial layering.
