DESIGN NAME: Stream
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Floor Lamp
INSPIRATION: The inspiration comes from the light of the setting sun shining on the stream and the ripples of light in the water. This project collects various textures (water patterns) reflected in water by different sounds in human and the natural world, uses these textures to integrate into the design of lamps to achieve the gorgeous scene of light and shadow on the water surface in the natural world. Explored a more harmonious relationship between man and nature.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The lamp shell evolves into a disc shape. The board is made of three layers with different materials, to achieve the effect of natural light shining on the water. The long pole connects the discs intersects with the main pole, bringing visual extension and beauty. The base at the bottom of the lamp is made of plaster. The rough undulating texture of plaster is like ripples on water. Natural scenes are integrated into daily life to bring users a comfortable natural experience.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Place the lamp in the living room or study room. Each water-patterned disc is rotatable, and users can adjust the disc to change the light transmitted through it. The angle of the light source can also be adjusted.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in October 2023 in London. The overall structure of the lamp has been produced and assembled in November 2023. And finished in December 2023 in London, and was exhibited in Royal College of Art's studio in January 2024.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The main support structure of the lamp is made of high-strength steel pipes. The disc support rods that cross the main rod are threaded rods. Users can use nuts to fix these water-patterned discs, which are detachable. Users arrange and install water pattern discs according to their own preferences and usage environment. The angle of the lamp can also be adjusted and can be rotated up and down.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Dimensions: height 2100mm, width 700mm, depth 400mm.
Materials: metal, clear acrylic sheeting, black acrylic sheeting, plaster, light power 3.6W, threaded rods, nuts.
TAGS: floor lamps, lighting, product design, ambient light, plaster
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: All things are born of water. The water is always telling. The designer believes animism, and learns through the process of exploring nature. Integrate natural things into lighting design to explore a more balanced and harmonious relationship between man and nature.
CHALLENGE: Find and try a variety of materials to finally achieve the effect of natural light shining on the water.
