Sky Lantern Bedside Lamp

by Shujie Lin

Project Description

With the improvement of people’s quality of life, their aesthetic awareness is also improving. This can be seen in the design of lamps. People cannot live without light. Because of this necessity and strong dependence, design in lighting should start from providing convenience for users and creating better living conditions. Nowadays, lighting is not merely a technical electronic appliance. It is more customised to satisfy users’ requirements for working, reading, and living. According to Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, when a person’s basic physiological needs are met, he or she begins to pursue higher-level needs, such as belonging and love. Differences in illuminance and colour temperature give people psychological satisfaction and the use of lighting in different situations varies. My aim is to help the young generation in society be free in their own world This lamp combines traditional Chinese and modern elements. People would put up sky lanterns at traditional festivals to express their yearning for a better future

Bio

I was born in a teacher's family, and taught that "knowledge changes fate" since childhood. In 2013, I started my overseas study in Sydney. With the desire to make life better, I became interested in product design through the program of design education in NHK. From 2017 to 2020, I majored in Product Design at the University of Technology, Sydney. Due to the travel restrictions imposed by Australia during the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020, I stayed in China to receive online courses. During this period, I saw the changes of the world and the trends of future design, and I also came to understand am embrace the concept of people-oriented design.
