The lantern inspired by stereotypical and traditional lantern design of the past.
‘ I ’ focused on simplifying the shape and structure of lamp to reinterpret the lantern design of the past.
So I designed the lamp as a cylindrical shape and the round shaped handle is made to use not only to move lamp but also to turn on and off the lantern.
When users rotate the handle to light up the lantern, the magnet in the handle can reach with the Reed switch in the top part at the same time and then the light will be turn on.
‘ I ’ consists of MDF, tape LED, brass screws and frosted acrylic and powered by lithium batteries.
