The Dreamy Lớp lamp is a sculptural lighting piece developed as part of BằNG’s Lớp collection, designed around the idea of a sphere suspended within layered materials. The lamp uses stacked sheets of dichroic acrylic separated by metal spacers, creating depth and rhythm around a central opal glass globe. Dreamy Lớp lamp shifts color depending on viewing angle and ambient light, producing tones that move between blue, gold, and green as light passes through the layers.
The design draws from cloud iridescence, where light diffracts through atmospheric particles to create shifting color effects. Rather than replicating clouds directly, the structure translates this optical phenomenon into a controlled object that filters and refracts light. The lamp is built for multiple orientations and environments, allowing it to function across residential and gallery settings. Its layered construction emphasizes material interaction and light behavior.

Why This Trend Is Growing
- Layered Optics Lighting
- A focus on stacked translucent planes that refract and modulate light suggests novel luminaires that create dynamic depth and color without complex electronics.
- Iridescent Material Aesthetics
- Designs using dichroic and diffractive surfaces point to decorative objects and finishes that change hue with viewpoint and ambient conditions, elevating sensory richness in everyday products.
- Modular Orientation Design
- Products engineered for multiple orientations indicate flexible form factors that adapt visual behavior to different spatial contexts and user preferences.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Interior Lighting
- High-end residential and contract lighting could incorporate layered refractive elements to offer customizable ambiance and sculptural presence within interiors.
- Gallery and Exhibition Design
- Curatorial environments stand to benefit from lighting and display pieces that dynamically shift perception of works through angle-dependent color and depth effects.
- Architectural Façade Materials
- Building envelopes using multilayered iridescent panels can produce facades that alter appearance with light and vantage, redefining urban visual character.
