RELAXING LIGHTING

Background & Rationale:

For this project, I had the idea of making a relaxing lighting product compatible with the torch on mobile phones intended for people who come home tired and exhausted.

In fact, evidence indicates that emotional tiredness is associated with increased worklife conflict. Which indicates they have difficulty establishing limits on their job. (How to refuel when you're feeling emotionally drained 2021)

I aim to design a product that will help the user relax and set boundaries with work, the user of my product may come home tired, rather than turning on the light, they can run straight to the sofa and slip their phone into it and relax as the lighting effect comes out. To get a temporary sense of peace and escape.

Work In Progress Personal Work

Inspirations

I was trying to see what length of the TipTop edge will work, i tried 3 cm and 6 cm, 6 cm worked better with self -standing.

I tried to make a 1:1 Prototype of my design, trying to see how it feels.

Sketching the form of the base, exploring possiblities with the handle together

Reflection on the model

After making the model, i felt it could be simplified , considering it needs to fit in a bag, the connection part may easily break, therefore i have to modify my design to suit the users' needs.
