Depois de Waldemar Cordeiro

In c.1955 a Brazilian artist designed and made a lamp to illuminate a garden landscape designed by him. There is only a single register of the lamp: a small piece of journal with its photograph. That was the starting point to recreate the lamp and the light effect produced by it: from a single source of light, due to internal reflections and the different distances from the source to the white rings, a 4W LED lamp can create a range of shades, varying from dark gray to pure white.

Gentleman

Gentleman Chair is a unique design. Traditional culture is expressed in modern language through design. In visual language, it has an elegant and calm temperament and is as polite as a gentleman. Secondly, the simple shape and elegant proportion need innovative technology to achieve. The support system of the chair needs the integrated wood board and metal bending technology, which highlights the unique manufacturing technology, and reflects the combination of traditional culture and modern manufacturing.

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.
