The Sixth Sence

The lamp was developed under the influence of the research about the concept of proprioception. This special, muscular sense, thanks to which a person feels his own body in space, is informally called the Sixth Sense. Thanks to this design approach, it has been developed a floor lamp that a person can use with their eyes closed, without being distracted from their work or leisure. With the help of a base, the lamp can be placed as close as possible to the workplace or even between and furniture. And also with the help of switches located at the arm's length.

The Union Church

The Union Church was founded in 1886, located closely to the Bund in Shanghai. It hasn't been properly reused for many years until 2021, and it will be transformed into a music performance space. The aim of lighting design is to create a small and beautiful spiritual space meeting the need of performing. The functional light is used to create a uniform and comfortable lighting environment and meet the needs of the stage lighting at the same time. The main pendant light is a ‘creative highlight’, combining both the lighting and acoustic requirements.

Magic

The Magic Lamp's form is inspired by the form of the mushroom Psilocybe semilanceata, a species of fungus with a distinctive conical to bell-shaped cap that produces psychoactive compounds, otherwise known as the Magic Mushroom. The pearl white shade is 3D printed with a plant based plastic. As the light shines through it, the spiralling concentric lines created by the layering of material in the printing process are highlighted. Underneath the head are mushroom like gills, also 3D printed. The combination of materials, and it's natural form, stand out as the main features of this design.

Cubes

Cubes table lamp has a very clear aesthetic inspired by the architecture of the early 20th century, the Bauhaus and German modernism. Expresses a concept combining light with graphic design, a sculpture of geometric shapes. The lamp consists of three geometric forms stacked in a balanced composition and distinguished by the material, wood. The asymmetric positioning of the forms creates a different profile on each side, a constant rediscovery of the piece. The light fixture is a led circuit with a diffuser, softly distributing the light downwards on two of the volumes.
