The CUBE series

aim
In order to show the best bedside lighting set by the pattern of using throughout analyzing the existing design.

research question
What can be the considerable design for lighting users when lighting design communicate with them?

intended audience
Domestic users (18~60) reading book before sleeping.
Lighting & furniture manufacture (e.g – ikea, Philips lighting, magis, vitra, viabizzuno, etc), designers.

key areas of investigation
-Lighting technology solutions (led & halogen / light colour and brightness)
-User behaviour pattern & user psychology about lathing and lighting design
-Current multi-functional furniture and what function do they have?
-User life style through age, occupation, and sex
-Environment of users , overall dispositions of user , dispositions of user before sleeping
-Environment mood through lighting design

role of the project in your personal development?
To develop further skills and knowledge in the area of lighting technology (include led and halogen)
Better understanding of users’ experience (reading a book / transforming shape or user / listening to music etc) in interacting with lighting design.
Provide appropriate portfolio material to pursue next level of career in lighting design.

rationale
- The communication between design product and its users means that design can understand and provide the need of users and the pattern of using.
- For example, it provides the optimal condition for users while they read or sleep.
- The mixed function of this lighting design can increase the life quality of users in bedtime whereas the original bedside design remains simple in function.
(mixed function)
- The structure of design is able to change in shape dimensionally according to user’s different needs.
-An enhanced relationship with object and user encourages the user to value the object more, hence increasing its useful life.

Lighting follows user interaction.


“A Study of Human Engineered Designs Through the Convergence of Products, Furniture, and Lighting”
This design project placed the influence of the design upon the user interaction by communication and human behaviour pattern at its analytic centre.
Also, it is to add a new solution to products and user environments, by combining life style and aesthetic values enhancing people’s behaviour and improving their life.
The Lighting design is not just one of design parts, it is way of communication with all of human life for example, it is not only curing humanity but also it should be design for human, consequently, lighting can change any other different design for communication with human.
So to speak, it is metamorphosis of social interacting lighting design.
