Shanhai I

Shanhai I is a desk lamp with a built-in Bluetooth speaker. The modular design makes efficient use of desk space. A bearing hinge structure inspired by the shape of a swan egg allows the lamp arm to attach to the light pole and to provide 180 degree illumination. The lamp arm and the light pole also allow 360 degree damped rotation. The speaker and the lamp can be used separately or together for different situations. A full-spectrum side-glow grille structure reduces glare and gives soft light. The speaker covers 20 Hz to 22 kHz.

Silver Wings

Silver Wings is a desk lamp designed to protect the eyes of children. A curved light source 63 centimetres long illuminates a desk width of 1.6 metres, reducing differences in brightness across the surface. Two light wings can be folded downwards so that the light beams overlap, which reduces hand shadows during writing. A micro-surface diffusion panel spreads the light in several directions for even illumination. A knob and a screen control the brightness, the colour temperature and the timer functions.

Detachable Sofa

Hanoi

Hanoi is a detachable sofa designed for flat packaging. The sofa is assembled in about four minutes without tools, glue or metal parts. Four beech wood pillars are rotated into threaded holes in the wooden base. Upholstered backrests and armrests are then attached to the pillars and fixed with threaded caps at the top of each pillar. Cushions are added last. The packed volume is two fifths of the assembled sofa, which reduces packaging, storage and transport costs. The structure recalls the Tower of Hanoi puzzle.

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.

Rong

Rong is a tea sideboard designed for home use. Rong is made of North American black walnut with a clear wood grain. A double-layer octagonal countertop and herringbone struts divide the functional areas by shape. The cabinet body has grille strip sliding doors that move along a track, so no space is needed in front of the unit. Multiple storage areas keep different tea sets in order. The concave countertop surface and the pressure center placed behind the center of gravity prevent tipping. Simple components allow users to assemble the sideboard themselves.

L and S Arno Series

L and S Arno Series is a piano lamp designed to light piano keys and sheet music. The illuminance on the keys is no less than 300 lx. A full-spectrum LED with a color rendering index of at least 95 provides light similar to sunlight, without flicker or blue light hazard. An OLED display, a hygrothermograph and a metronome are integrated into the lamp. Multi-shaft joints rotate at large angles for all-round illumination, so the lamp suits electric, upright and grand pianos. The conical base has a silicone pad that prevents slipping and protects the piano surface.
