Reading Lamp

← Back to the Portfolio

Reading lamp was a quick MA project designed to ask us to acknowledge those everyday technologies that we take for granted. In order to get enough light to read by at night, you must read aloud, and entertain it as you do so.

Do those objects whose use is more reciprocal become more valuable to us?
This project aims to discover if it is possible to create more sustainable objects and opportunities for more rewarding everyday experiences, by investigating ways in which design can encourage more meaningful relationships between people and their belongings.
