Industrial Designer
Fabric unveils its transformative potential in the design and production of soft and flexible materials, and it is typically associated with apparels as a single piece.
But what if we could combine these soft textiles with sturdy skeletons, controlling softness with hardness?
With the textile’s property to diffuse light and the ability to control the form by the hard skeleton,雲 yún is a lamp that changes light intensity by deforming the textile shape.
Details
The 2 statuses - compact and expand
It emits a dim, cozy light in its compact form, perfect for a warm ambiance.
Pulling down the handle expands the lampshade, and this allows more light to illuminate your space.
The increased lightness offers functionality, better for things like reading or writing before your bedtime.
Breakdown
A skeleton structure is created to support the textile transform between two statuses.
The outer lampshade is knitted in short stitch to maintain consistent thickness and flexibility.
-
The middle rim further reinforces the structure for reliable deformation.
-
And the hook number remains the same until reaching the rim, and it decreases gradually for the lower part to fold in naturally.
The combination of the crochet technique and the flexible nature of fabric informs the construction and silhouette of the light and makes the lamp interactive, transformable, and customisable.
With 雲 yún, we weave light with textile and illuminate the ambience to your space.
