CONCEPT STATEMENT:

Lume is a family of lamps to elevate the coffee-drinking experience. Lume gives people a relaxing mood, sitting quietly beside that cup of coffee. Lume Outdoor is used within coffee stores, and Lume Home is a premium collectible to bring the coffee experience home. They share the exact same lighting unit. The design challenges are incorporating LEDs into a small space and achieving convenient recharging purposes. I used COB LEDs and spring touch switch, being able to control the lamp by simply touching the outer shell. I also put magnets and induction charging coil in it so that Lume is rechargeable with magnetic induction chargers. Lume Outdoor is 3D printed for prototypes and PLA injection molded for commercial use, reducing the cost per lamp and protecting the environment since PLA is made from plants. Lume Home is made of frosted glass to diffuse the light even softer.

PROJECT SPECS:

Lume Unit is the lighting unit for both lamp designs, it is 77mm in height and 135mm in diameter. Lume Outdoor is designed for commercial space with 230mm in height and 135mm in diameter, using PLA injection molding for manufacturing. Lume Home is designed for home with 176mm in height and 135mm in diameter, using glass molding and sand blasting for manufacturing.
