FAQs

How can I test the lamp or take part in the project?

1

This project is currently in a testing and research phase.
If you’re interested in experiencing the lamp and sharing your reflections, you can get in touch.
Participation is limited and focused on qualitative feedback, not usability testing.


Is this lamp a tech product or a design object?

2

Both, but design leads.
The lamp uses technology only as a material, not as the point. It is not trying to be smart, efficient, or adaptive. Its purpose is to shape behavior through ritual, not optimization.


Why does the lamp require a physical interaction instead of an app or automation?

3

Because attention is physical before it is digital.
The lamp is designed to make you pause, move, and decide. Removing apps and automation is intentional. Friction is part of the experience.


What problem is the lamp actually solving?

4

It is not solving phone addiction.
It creates a moment where the user can choose presence over distraction. The value is not control, it is awareness.
