The Sound of Light

Not really what you think. The NewLight desk lamp has an integrated MP3 player. Although details are sparse, you can also load up audio books and have the lamp read to you while you fall asleep. Interesting concept. Perhaps the lamp light can slowly dim on its own at a preset time.

wasteful. if you’re on your own house, how about a better adaptation of wireless headphones? For instance, a wifi device with an open-source driver at the computer level. Plug your favourite headphones into it, use the screen and controls on it to select your music, do NOT sign any contracts with Apple, and since this is a design page you should probably make it spherical or something.

Or build it into a reading lamp. I mean, hey, what are you doing enjoying your music if you aren’t reading?

Thank you for your recommend That Guy.
That’s your choice whether you will use it or not. I think older people or someone who isn’t familar with IT technology are hard to control computer or portable devices. In addition, there IT devices, such as Wifi headset and bluetooth earphone, are not only high prices but also restricted by battery.

I’ve focussed on how to play easily and instantly, and also make it produce in low price.
It is just one concpet of light series, you can see another light version on my portfolio website. Actually, I’ve take the first priorty in design than function in this version.
If you don’t mind, Please visit my site and give me advice.

why do you need?
It’s a vulnerable design. I agree That Guy……..

you’re right Jin. there is no design for everyone. any designer can’t do that.
I’d like to buy one for my grandmom, she is awkward at latest devices.
She always read a book at night and fall a sleep.

문성훈님 말씀 고맙습니다. 저도 참 일단 내디자인이니까 모라 말은해야겠구 ㅋ얀코에서 올려준건 고마운데 왜하필 저게올라갔나생각 했어요. 저도 사실 컨셉이 새롭다고는 생각안했거던요. 혹시 호주에 계시나요?

네 저는 호주에 삽니다 ^^ 아직도 공부를 하고 싶어하고 공부를 하고 있습니다…

ㅜ.ㅜ 어릴때 원하는것을 빨리 알았어야 했는데 ^^

진우님이 작업하시는 컨셉이나 Design Elemts가 제가 추구하는 것과 비슷해서 멋집니다

기회되면 호주에서 물장구나 치구놀아요 ㅜ
