CONCEPT STATEMENT:

With Mikono we created an intuitively to use and visually surprising lighting solution which combines the idea of a classic table light and a battery light. Its portable conically shaped light shade with the attached rubber sling gives the lamp not only a strong characteristic but also offers various ways to use: You can carry it around, hang in on the ceiling, place it on the table as decorative light in different positions or next to your bed for reading. The base serves as loading station and reveals some delicate detailes as it has a centered tunnel to house the loop of the shade when attached. A big round button on top of the shade appears eye catching and works as light switch with dimming feature. When developing the technical configuration we were focused on achieving a lamp where only the battery can be changed without replacing the entire light.

PROJECT SPECS:

Our two 3D printed prototypes are fully operating. They include a specially for this light designed solution for loading. In production, the lampshade would be produced in centrifugal casting from LDPE and the docking station as two-part injection molded part from PC.

The LED light source is warm white 2700K, CRI 90. The charge volume of the battery offers 7-8 hours in peak power. The product dimension is: height 200mm and diameter 180mm.
