Market Analysis
The lighting market is filled with diverse, user-friendly designs thanks to new technologies.
This project aims to create a distinctive, adaptable office lamp that stands out in both design and functionality.
Designing for Adaptive Futures
How can an office floor lamp effectively combine direct and indirect lighting through shape change? What ensures a smooth transitions between lighting modes? In what ways does shape influence light distribution? How does modularity contribute to an extended lifespan?
Construction
Key technical components: Bent stainless steel and biodegradable plastic, as well as a membrane made of stretchable fabric and integrated LED.
Amient Light
When used as a mood light, the light cylinder is positioned in the upper part and directs the light upwards to create a calm, atmospheric light.
Work Light
The position of the cylinder can be adjusted by pulling the cord, relaxing the upper and tensioning the lower part; this turns indirect into direct lighting.
Final Version
The target audience is office workers who need versatile lighting. Its unique design and flexibility make this floor lamp a standout feature in any office.
