‘Citron’ – a mood lamp is specifically designed to help revive that earthy vitality. Citron levitates serene undertones of nature, like plump fruits falling artfully from trees– by visualizing their motions and sounds. Inspired by natural elements– Citron uses durable artificial, processed metal to paint the abstraction in urban hues. The curved metal plate refracts the forested lampshade; the deformed shadow mimics the melody of fruits diving into the ground, and the glass lampshade sculpted with fine muscular lines represents precious imperfections of nature.
Designer Tongqi Lu is inspired by the calming power of nature — the mountains blanketed in fog and the gentle waves of the blue sea are a sharp contrast to overwhelming city landscapes. She is passionate about creating objects that improve the well-being of a society gradually losing touch with the present moment. Every design is meticulously crafted to enhance awareness and to enable urban residents to feel the soothing and relaxing effects of nature.
