Empathy

Floor Lamp for Maytoni

Floor lamp was created under the influence of the concept of empathy. In other words, the lamp understands the functional and emotional needs of a person as much as possible. In this lamp, a motion sensor was used for control. You can turn it on and change the power of the light flux without touching it. From a hygiene point of view, it is very convenient for public spaces. Moreover, a specially designed rotary mechanism is used in the floor lamp. This mechanism can be rotated 360° horizontally and 90° vertically. The floor lamp has a laconic design devoid of visual noise.

Unique Properties

This project is designed using the principles of empathy. Therefore, the floor lamp can adapt to the practical and emotional needs of a person. For example, the angular shape of the rebar is created to position the motion sensor. This construction allows a person to control it while sitting at a table or passing by. Traffic management is very important given the pandemic. It is also convenient if a person does not want to stain the floor lamp while eating or doing a craft.

Production Technology

The use of the principles of empathy led to the study of a person's life and habits in order to find out how a person uses the floor lamp and under what circumstances and how it can be improved so that the lamp can adapt to different emotional and practical situations in a person's life. In order to do this, research was carried out in the form of observation of loved ones, colleagues and strangers at home, cafes, in the office and other spaces.

Design Challenge

An important part of the study was the search for a shape for embedding a motion sensor, because the location of the sensor must be in such a way that it is convenient to use in different scenarios. For example, when a person works sitting at the table or walks by. Therefore, the height of the sensor was first determined so that a person could use it both sitting and standing. And then the shape is determined based on the need to create a rotary mechanism.

Project Duration

The project started in April 2023 in Moscow and finished in December 2023 in Moscow, and will be exhibited in April 2024 in Moscow.

Operation Flow

Users can use the light to work, read and rest by adjusting the power with a motion sensor. The User can also adjust the angle of lighting using a 90-degree and 360-degree vertical rotation system horizontally. In addition, the lamp can be used in public spaces where there is a large flow of people, for example, in hotels and cafes, since it can be used without touch, which is important for protecting against viruses.

Research

The concept of empathy allows, first of all, to focus not on the needs of the person himself, but on the emotions and needs of other people. This is very important for the designer, because studying only your own needs is not enough to create a popular product. Therefore, an investigation was made to study human behavior in different spaces, and surveys have been conducted to understand how such a simple subject can help make the world more human-centric.

Inspiration

Empathy is a conscious empathy for the emotional state of another person. The designer decided to set himself the task of combining this concept with the design of an object that is used in everyday life. The choice fell on a floor lamp with an original design, with a motion sensor and adjustable lighting power, as well as a rotary system.
