For POSTFOSSIL
The concept of this lamp is based on the principle of the hand torch, which used to be used at home when it was dark in order to get from one room to another. The material porcelain, plays an important part in this as it transports the user back into the past through its optics and haptics. At the same time the technology inside the lamp is modern LED technology, which allows a low electricity use.

The transmission of electricity between the lamp and the charging station occurs through magnetic induction, i.e. there are no visual transmission elements. Good night Eileen charges itself on the charging point and as soon as it is taken away from there continues to glow for a few minutes before the light slowly fades.
