Hearth

Hearth, an award-winning desk lamp in the LIT Lighting Design Award 2023, aims to address the challenges of a busy and unstimulating work environment by creating a supportive and pleasant atmosphere for productivity.

To achieve this, Hearth interacts with users personally and involves them in productive activities by utilizing two impactful components in lighting: illuminance and light temperature. The system incorporates the "Pomodoro Technique" by using cool white light for 25 minutes and switching to warm light for a 5-minute break. Additionally, the lamp promotes reading as a beneficial break activity in a fun and magical way. The sensor detects when a book is removed, triggering a switch to neutral white light for optimal reading conditions.

Hearth's unique design features LEDs on both the upper and lower sides, allowing flexible light direction adjustment. This process involves interactions with the ceramic texture, offering an immersive and enjoyable multi-sensory experience. A sensory button pad enables brightness control and display customization, enhancing user engagement. The product's emotionally durable design is complemented by its use of eco-friendly and recyclable ceramic material.

Ultimately, Hearth aims to enhance the user's wellness and productivity by producing immersive lighting that combines beauty, functionality, interactivity, and durability.
