Operation Flow
The lamp lights up in an attractive way by pulling up the window shade, the light becomes brighter while slowly opening the window. When the panel is completely open, the lamp will at its brightest.
Research
The wall light is not only an object hang on the wall. As it's on, its lighting panel can bring unlimited imagination. With creative design touches emotion , the light does not have to make people feel like a light, and the space people in does not have to feel like its in there room. This kind of "emotional" wall light is in lack.
Inspiration
The inspiration is taken from the porthole of the airplane. Every time on the plane, the joy and the excitement for the trip inside my body.When turn up the window and light exudes,it feels like turn on the light. The wall light will remind people of their time spent on the airplane, heading to destination on travel, and full of joy and excitement. We want to bring these feelings to people, especially under the Coronavirus when people have to stay at home, we may feel lonely, sad, depressed, but when we turn up the light, look through “The Porthole”, it seems like we are on the plane at present, looking out the window, ready to face a brand new day.
