Due to COVID-19, people have rediscovered how important their home environment is, and have a new need for customization and flexibility in their own space. This is why we created an interactive, nature-inspired and customizable light.

Problem & Context
Assignment: Studio Schrofer has asked us to create a lighting system that can be easily delivered through a mail slot.
Target Group: 15-30 years old
Context: Due to the Covid-19 restrictions people are not able to leave their houses thus increasing the rate of online shopping. Additionally, almost all physical stores are closed. With the current increase of products bought from online shopping, postal offices aren’t able to deliver the product to the users on time. Because people are in their house much more often than they were used to, they have also discovered a need for customizability of their space(s).
Design Statement: We want to create a lighting system that allows the user to customize their space and allow them to feel more comfortable in their home. Our solution will also be appealing to our target audience because of the interactivity and environmental values our product brings. Additionally, to lessen the pressure on postal services, we need to create a product that can be delivered through any mailbox. This will drastically lessen the amount of time the product will take to arrive, adding to the desirability of the product.
