Fora Lamp
Fora is a bedside lamp that helps you to slowly set the mood of sleeping at night.
As there is increasing concern around the social and health effects of excessive illumination in this ‘switched-on society’, how people interact with light and its psychological and physiological effects should be well considered by designers.
Fora is a bedside lamp that diminishes its light intensity progressively. Press the button twice and the fan-shaped screen will slowly rotate and unfold, gently dimming the room. The lamp switches off itself after twenty minutes when the light is fully covered. This gradual transformation soothes the users into their sleeping mood.
