BOUNDLESS GLOW

Ce qu'il fait

This is a modular luminaire that allows users to create personalized lighting forms by simply twisting and connecting units. It combines creative flexibility with environmental responsibility, offering a sustainable and user-friendly design solution.

Votre source d'inspiration

In daily life, we noticed that people often wish to adjust the shape of light according to space, mood, or context, yet most conventional lamps are fixed in form and lack adaptability. This inspired us to explore a design that allows users to actively shape their lighting experience. The idea evolved into a modular, twistable structure inspired by building blocks and the organic growth of vines. It emphasizes user participation, flexibility, and emotional connection—transforming light into a customizable, expressive medium.

Comment ça marche

This design consists of multiple curved light tube modules, each with rotatable connectors at both ends. By simply twisting the ends, users can easily join the modules by hand. The mechanical structure ensures a stable connection, while built-in conductive contacts automatically complete the electrical circuit once assembled—no extra wiring or tools required. The lamp can bend, coil, or stretch freely, allowing users to shape it for different scenarios—such as hanging, wrapping, or placing—combining lighting and decoration. All modules operate on low-voltage power for safety, and individual parts can be replaced or maintained to extend product lifespan. The system works like building blocks, intuitive and accessible to users of all ages, reflecting a fusion of user-friendly interaction and universal design.

Processus de conception

The design began with the concept of allowing users to freely shape light. Research revealed that people desire lighting that is both decorative and adaptable to different settings. To meet this need, we established a modular, hand-assembled structure as our core design direction. In the first stage, we explored various curvatures and connector types through sketches and digital modeling, and created the initial prototype using 3D printing. Early tests showed that some connections lacked stability and had limited adjustability. To address this, we optimized the joint structure in the second stage by introducing a twist-lock mechanism and adjusting wall thickness and material ratios to improve strength and user feel. Electrically, we designed a pass-through conductive system that allows current to flow automatically between connected modules, eliminating manual wiring. For safety, the system runs on low-voltage DC, and magnetic positioning was added to enhance connection precision. The final prototype met expectations in structural strength, ease of assembly, light uniformity, and material sustainability—laying the foundation for future production and feature expansion.

En quoi est-il différent ?

Unlike most fixed-structure lighting products on the market, this design features a modular system that allows users to freely assemble and reshape light. Each tube serves as both a structural and conductive unit, enabling users to build personalized lighting forms like assembling building blocks. No tools are required—connections are made simply by twisting, making the product intuitive, safe, and accessible for all age groups. Beyond basic illumination, the design emphasizes interactivity and user participation, giving users creative control over light. It incorporates low-voltage power and magnetic positioning for enhanced safety and precision. The standardized design ensures easy maintenance, recyclability, and scalability for mass production. Combining creative freedom, functional flexibility, and sustainability, this design stands out in its category with a unique and innovative approach.

Plans pour l'avenir

Going forward, we will refine the connection mechanism and power system to enhance stability and safety, while exploring wireless power and smart controls for app-based dimming and scenario adaptation. We also plan to develop versions in different sizes, materials, and functions—such as waterproof, flexible, or child-friendly models. Future steps include user testing and design exhibitions to expand product visibility and attract manufacturing partners for mass production. Our ultimate goal is to create a customizable, sustainable, and interactive lighting system that empowers users to shape light freely.
