Inspiration

I got my inspiration from Buddhist pagodas. The luminous pagodas represent the sacred meaning of Buddhism and the path to enlightenment, providing wisdom to the world through the holy light. And we used this meaning to design this lamp. The lamp is also a product for lighting up the night. Our design motivation was to make traditional symbols as unique as possible in modern products. We changed the way this lamp opens and closes. Artfully rotated through the shape of the pagoda.
