Switch on that window, will you!

Imagine having sunlight in a windowless room. That’s probably the strangest way to begin a design post, but think about it… I’ve lived in a dingy hostel room for five years of my life, so yes, sunshine was an absolute luxury. Window is a part of Siyu Lou’s Elastic products that explores a new dimension to lighting. Designed to fit in one slim, long casing, Window allows you to have a window shaped ambient light on any wall. Just mount the casing and pull down on the bar at the base and a warm, illuminated screen unrolls like a curtain, but unlike curtains that block light, this one actually illuminates! Isn’t that unusually brilliant!? Looks like a prop straight out of a sci-fi film! 💡
