Whimsical Levitating Lamps

Fabian Roy's Hovering Lamp Explores Mobility in Interior Design

— December 28, 2017 — Art & Design
Fabian Roy is exploring the concept of the mobility of light sources in his latest product design, which features a whimsical levitating lamp, that can hover above one's desk.

More often than not, lamps stand in the corner of one's room, providing a major service while remaining as unobtrusive as possible. Roy aims to alter people's perceptions of interior design accessories, by designing them in a manner that makes them hard to miss.

This particular light uses airflow to hover above the ground, eliciting an emotional sense of wonder from the user. These lamps aim to help the average consumer form a deeper connection with their products, which is a particularly difficult task for lamp designers.
