Early prototype “Dare to dream” lamp

for IKEA as a part of Vienna design week 2024 (unrealized)

Concept is based on a conversation. I was inspired by the moment of falling asleep when someone is talking around you and you are just quietly listening. Until at one point the "silent conversation" happens. Things stop making sense and you slowly make your way to another world. 

There has always been a need to communicate different opinions, especially in today's polarized times. I would like to give viewers the opportunity to observe this silent conversation and fall into a present sleep / meditation, when they will be able to enter their own world of thoughts for a while.

In the form, I wanted to use a very well technically and structurally made product and that is the working lamp. Two of them. These lamps together form a conversation that you can observe, think, influence.

The main source of inspiration was a reference to the Pixar lamps holding together sphere, which I choose based on comic bubbles. I wanted to use something simple, playful, recognizable, with which the viewer would have fun interacting and approaching.
