Design Approach
Design MotivationWe observed that children’s lamps are often purely functional, lacking elements that spark curiosity or encourage interaction. Our goal was to design a lamp that goes beyond lighting — one that becomes a playful companion and inspires imagination, while remaining safe and approachable for children.
