The Hushed Lamp

The project started off with a deep investigation into the colour PINK DIC-2011 and its innate personality. If the colour was a matter, a form, an architecture, a human embodiment – what would it be?

These investigations served as guides in designing a product inspired by the colour itself.

After extraction of Hushed Pink’s DNA, we sought to seek its embodiment as an object. A series of ideation processes led us to streamline three product possibilities. After further exploration, we finally found Hushed Pink’s true embodiment — a light.

The choice of Hushed Pink as a light was far from arbitrary. We found many poetic gestures and interactions which are characteristic of Hushed Pink – a gentle brush, a touch, an embrace, a blow, a hug, a whisper – all of which could all be applied to a light.

As a bedside lamp, Hushed Pink could be an intimate and personal object. Warm & welcoming, it provides its users with a sense of comfort & familiarity after a tiring day. On the other hand, its soft light shines & protects them during a deep slumber.

The Hushed Lamp rests on one's beside, quiet and unassuming. Every night, the lamp is rekindled with a gentle touch. It is there in one's most joyful days, as well as one's least. The lamp glows faithfully, protecting its beholder from even the darkest of nights.
