Reading Lamp

A project by Mark Selby


Reading lamp is the first in what will be a series of products that ask us to acknowledge those everyday technologies that we take for granted while they quietly and invisibly allow us to live our lives. If you don't read to it - you don't get any light.

Human(ish) Behaviour

While drawing the behaviour storyboard below, I decided that the lamp should be animated so that it had more human-like behavioural characteristics. As well as just dimming or glowing brighter it would also turn away from the reader in boredom, or appear to fall asleep by lowering itself. The mechanism and flexibility of an anglepoise lamp would allow such characteristics and behaviour.
