The Craft Mood Lamp

A unique mood lamp that blurs the boundaries between functionality and deco. The lamp is designed to be a bedroom mood lighting to help calm the body’s internal circadian rhythm for better sleep. By including a craft element to the building process, the lamp promotes craft as a simple tool to help young people reduce stress and build deeper connections.

Functionality.

The lamp is specially designed to mimic the natural light patterns of the sun. The release of a warm soothing glow helps to regulate the body's internal clock and promote a healthier sleep-wake cycle. Ideally it is turned on in the late evening to maximise health benefits. Lamp settings are controlled via a smartphone app.

Nature.

A minimalistic design to blend into the user’s existing space and environment. The lamp borrows its silhouette from nature, mimicking the textural forms of organic matter such as fungi, flower petals and coral.

Craft.

The lamp has been designed with the aim to be sold as a DIY kit. It has all the necessary materials needed for the user to assemble and build it.

As the lamp acts as a craft tool to reduce mental stress, it can be customised and made to be unique. There are no defined rules when it comes to making the paper lamp shade. The lamp shade design is not permanently fixed by the tape, allowing the ability for it to be continuously redesigned.
