Mondrian

The suspension lamp Mondrian reaches emotions through colors, volumes, and shapes. The name leads to its inspiration, the painter Mondrian. It's a suspension lamp with a rectangular shape in a horizontal axis built up by several layers of colored acrylic. The lamp has four different views taking advantage of the interaction and harmony created by the six colors used for this composition, where the shape gets interrupted by a white line and a yellow layer. Mondrian emits light both upwards and downwards creating diffused, non-invasive lighting, adjusted by a dimmable wireless remote.

Nantong Window

The lighting design principle continues the architectural concept. Facade lighting on the waterside of the building is combined with the characteristics of architectural function and form. The other facade of the building is a three-dimensional folding "feather" shaped perforated aluminum curtain wall system. Linear lamps with 4000K are installed inside the triangular folder curtain wall to illuminate the triangular bottom and reflect into the entire curtain wall cavity. Through the feather-like perforations, it looks like a lantern that shines through the whole body.

Weed

Based on research insights that people are more inclined to leisure, Weed not only uses a lightweight design language form, but also combines wireless charging technology into its compact body to achieve portability, which perfectly meets this demand. Its design is completely user-centric in any case, it has multiple roles, and can also be used as a flash torch when you pull out the rod. Its smooth patterned surface has also become a symbol of indoor nature, which will evoke your memories of childhood outdoor activities.

Supersymmetry

In the year 2020 people had to reinvent their lifestyles and face a collision of professional and private in their homes. Inspiration to solve this problem was found in one of the concepts of modern partial physics, supersymmetry, which explains how the substance can transform into matter. A lighting fixture was designed to help people to switch between their life essences by the simple move and magnetic click. The lamp transforms from a vertical source of soft light to a horizontal source of concentrated light for work, creation, and close communication.
