Sound Wave Pendant Lamp

Sound Wave

Sound Wave is a pendant lamp inspired by the visual form of a musical composition. The melody of Prelude No. 3, Wind on the Plain by Claude Debussy was converted into an image of a sound wave with a special program, and the resulting curve became the basis for the silhouette of the lamp. The shape was then adjusted for better light properties and for mass production. Matte white glass is placed over a metal structure, and a decorative glass element in blue, gold, black or gray is set on top, so visible fasteners are avoided. The wire height can be changed from 100 to 3000 mm.

Residential PV Energy Storage System

Residential PV

Residential PV is a photovoltaic energy storage system for homes. The system stores solar energy for household use and for off grid conditions.

Unlike Western culture, where people remove shadows from space, this project intentionally creates shadows as a part of aesthetic beauty. The columns of Urushi can reflect a candle-like light in a dark room, giving off a luminous glow that gives a sense of the depth of darkness. The unique properties of shape and light create an enchanting interplay of light reflections and shadows evoking a microcosmic space reminiscent of nature.
