Entry DescriptionHorizon is a collection of wall lamps inspired by the calming landscape of a sunset by the sea. The soothing rhythm of changing colours symbolizes the passage of time and brings tranquillity to its viewers. This artistic collection embodies the philosophy of finding personal rhythm amidst life's chaos and highlights the importance of mental well-being.
The first product in the collection, Revolve, was initially designed by Echo Zhan during COVID-19 to introduce calming, dynamic lighting into the space. Revolve later inspired Echo and Viola Huang to build K?dns, a brand that celebrates the rhythm of light.
In residential scenarios, we are designing this Horizon series for people who cherish or aspire to a peaceful lifestyle and curate their living space to reflect that pace of living. In commercial scenarios, We envision the Horizon collection as a great addition to spaces like hospitals, yoga studios, airport lounges, and wellness rooms, where tranquillity is appreciated.
Sustainability Approach1. Design for Repairability
We design our products for easy disassembly and repair, minimizing the use of glue and ensuring each component is replaceable. This approach extends product lifespan, reduces waste, and promotes a circular economy.
2. Recycled Materials for 3D-Printed Parts
We use 3D-printed parts made from recycled filament for key components in our fixtures. This choice supports sustainability without compromising quality.
