PlouNuvol

PlouNuvol is an interactive light installation shaped as a large inflatable cloud. Visitors enter the cloud and take part in a light and sound show. A conductor teaches a simple choreography that turns the body into a percussion instrument. The sounds recall the phases of rain and trigger light effects inside the cloud. Artificial fog and ten tons of salt on the floor reflect the colors of the walls. The outer skin is made of flame retardant polyester with a PVC coating, so the show is also visible from outside.

The Intelligent Eggshell

The Intelligent Eggshell Lamp is a porcelain nightlight that combines hand-made eggshell porcelain with voice control. The shade is formed through more than forty working procedures, repeated fettling and carving, and three firings, giving a wall thickness within 1 mm. Carved points, lines and surfaces glow like a night sky when the lamp is lit. The tapered housing is curved to sit in the hand and resists tipping. The light is switched on and off by voice, so the hands stay free. The design aims to revive a traditional folk craft.

Iris

Iris is a small table lamp that provides indirect lighting. The lighting system allows control of the light intensity and regulation of the light beam directed upwards.

The metal parts are made of carbon steel and stainless steel, shaped by laser cutting and turning. The dome is made of ABS plastic by three-dimensional printing and can be undocked to change the bulb.

Yizheng Comprehensive Gymnasium

Yizheng Comprehensive Gymnasium is a lighting design for a public sports facility. The facade of the main building is made of tens of thousands of carmine ceramic rods, fixed with an original construction method developed through repeated full scale tests. The lighting follows the concept of a city gift box and presents the gymnasium as a crystal box that glows from inside to outside at night. Light with a warm color temperature is used on the main building for a soft appearance. Brick lamps at the base of the pillars guide visitors and reduce glare.

Aggregate

Aggregate is a collection of three floor lamps made from recycled and discarded materials. Each lamp is built on a welded skeleton formed from discarded steel scraps. The body is sculpted by hand from a mixture of concrete, silica sand and shredded plastic bottles, applied over a thin alkali-resistant fiber base. The concrete mixture is worked like clay rather than cast in a mould, so each lamp has its own texture and silhouette. LED tube bulbs supply the light, and a step switch at the base turns each lamp on and off. The collection aims to give urban waste a new use.
