What if lights had personalities?

This project consist of 10 products, created specifically to address the issue of mass-produced products environmental impacts.

How do we address the issue of single-use throw away products?

How do we extend a products utility value beyond its intended design outcome?

How do we use the power of design and new technologies (3D printing) to reinforce and demonstrate the true potential of a circular economy?

The intention is to create lights with personas. A design-method that creates deeper layers of meaningful semantics most mass-produced products lack. Adding layers of emotional-value that will outlast price and basic utility.

If lights have personality what would they be like?

When we emotionally-connect with objects people will naturally keep them for longer. Art is an obvious proven example. The longer a product is used we slow down the rate of which products are thrown away, lessening the environmental impact.

Today’s mass-produced products emphasis too much on generating fast income at huge scales and ignoring the environmental social impacts.

Each product names have carefully been considered giving more “realness” like a real person than just a product serial number.
