| DESIGN NAME: GUILIN PRIMARY FUNCTION: Environment Cleansing Lamp INSPIRATION: Inspired the by beautiful cascading mountains of Guilin in China and a famous chinese poetry that says "Foolish man moves Mountains". What this poem means is that with perseverance one can achieve any task even when no one believes them. Our lamp hopes to inspire a new generation of environment cleansing design and remind the importance of nature to us. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Inspired the by beautiful cascading mountains of Guilin in China, the lamp is composed of a base that has 3 equal length slots allowing for Photocatalytic coated acrylic "mountains" OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The lamp itself will have a touch sensitive on/off switch as well as internal charging battery. Once the light base is on the acrylic mountains will absorb the light source from below and illuminate. This will also cause the chemical reaction of the photocatlysis and start cleaning the air around. During the daytime the coating will also work with any light source and moving air. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design concept originally started all the way back in 2011 but went through many changes. Photocatalytic implementation started research in 2016 and first prototype can completed in Febuary 2018. The market release time should be end of 2018.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The movable mountains are laser cut acrylic with light grooves and photocatalytically treated. The base is sand blasted steel finish with embedded Led light trough that illuminates the mountains while also activating the air cleansing function of the lamp. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Base is L 60cm x W 9cm x H 3.5cm, Mountain 1 is H 41.5cm x W 33.5cm, Mountain 2 is H 31cm x W 25cm, Mountain 3 is H 29cm x W 18.5cm, Mountain 4 is H 15cm x W 17.5cm. All Mountain are 5mm thick and comes in various finishes and entirely customisable. TAGS: photocatalytic lighting,air clean,environmental, RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Urbanization, is the word of our times. In 1950 only 30% of the world’s population lives in the city but it is projected that by 2050 over 70% of the global populations will be urban dwellers. With such rapid growth cities are faced with undaunting levels of pollution unheard of just a century ago. As architects and designers we are entering into a new Era of environmental thinking that has to either help our planet, recycle some of our creations and consider the biosynthesis of humans with nature. Furniture has always been one of the most vibrant discipline in design as comparatively the physical restriction is less thus leaving more leeway to push for innovation. There are many up-cycle creations, environmental conscious ideas and even some that biomorphs with part of our body. But I wonder, what if a piece of furniture that can help your wellbeing as well as the external environment while still looking good in any given situations. Working with our Italian technical partners we finally came up with solution that can use Light and Air, 2 elements provided by nature, to clean our environment of toxins and bacteria! Let me explain more: Photocatalysis is process that uses nano-particles and Titanium Dioxide (TiO2) to clean VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). When exposed to any ultraviolet light source, such as the sun, the coating's oxidative property decomposes organic substances such as microbes on its surface. In addition, the hydrophilic nature of the coating causes water that comes into contact to form an even layer, thereby allowing the dust and dirt that have accumulated on the surface to be washed away. These two properties create the "self-cleaning& CHALLENGE: As with most of our design customization is the key and we wanted the concept to change easily via the user. Also accessories has to be implemented conveniently and the concept need to relate to the constant changes of nature and our planet.
