Lumen Algae

Category: Design*

Competitions: Taiwan Region

This piece is a kinetic desk lamp inspired by the rhythmic breathing and organic form of algae in their natural environment. As vital agents of photosynthesis in aquatic ecosystems, algae exhibit subtle yet dynamic movements that often go unnoticed. Nevertheless, their presence is essential for maintaining ecological balance and embodies a quiet, natural beauty. Through the integration of light, shadow, and kinetic mechanisms, this lamp emulates the gentle swaying and breathing rhythm of algae in water, transforming these "overlooked natural details" into a perceptible part of everyday life. It aims to infuse a corner of the home with elements of nature, rekindling awareness and imagination toward the micro-ecology and our relationship with the environment.
