Shanhai I

Shanhai I is a desk lamp with a built-in Bluetooth speaker. The modular design makes efficient use of desk space. A bearing hinge structure inspired by the shape of a swan egg allows the lamp arm to attach to the light pole and to provide 180 degree illumination. The lamp arm and the light pole also allow 360 degree damped rotation. The speaker and the lamp can be used separately or together for different situations. A full-spectrum side-glow grille structure reduces glare and gives soft light. The speaker covers 20 Hz to 22 kHz.

Silver Wings

Silver Wings is a desk lamp designed to protect the eyes of children.

A micro-surface diffusion panel spreads the light in several directions for even illumination. A knob and a screen control the brightness, the colour temperature and the timer functions.

Cushions are added last. The packed volume is two fifths of the assembled sofa, which reduces packaging, storage and transport costs. The structure recalls the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.
