Yuki is an experimental OLED lamp with a rotary copper frame. OLED is the latest applied lighting technology which is more eco-friendly and durable than normal LED. The sculptural copper frame is simplified from the traditional lamp shade and it can be rotated to add or reduce light. It is fun and functional!

Inspiration

Inspired by the fluidity of perception in Umberto Boccioni sculpture, the spatial construction and the trajectory in chronophotography. Explored the continuity of form and visual trajectory of moving objects. The goal of the design is to convey visual movement into a functional product.
