The 'Volé' Lamp is designed as a charming piece of [interactive home decor](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bloomlight-s-lamp) that will provide a means of illumination, while also encouraging more interactivity with the simple items around us. Featuring a weathervane-like switch, the lamp can be activated on or off by simply flicking the top turbine or blowing to rotate it. This creates a soothing illumination that will be appreciated by those who want to brighten up their space without resorting to other lighting options that could be perceived as too simple.

The 'Volé' Lamp is the design work of Mauricio Sanin and Kelly Durango Cardenas of [MOAK Studio](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimalist-coffee-machine), and acknowledges the increase in products that have a [toy-like design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/interactive-folding-lamp) to maintain a sense of wonder for users.
