Timeline: Winter 25' 10 weeks
I began ideating with a strong, intentional direction. I wanted to answer one question: how can I visually capture the feeling of sinking into bed at the end of a long day? That guiding idea pushed my sketches beyond static shapes but giving them a sense of gravity.
Hue exploration and effects:
Throughout my design process, I examined the psychological effects of various lighting colors on users, focusing on how different hues influence mood and perception. My objective was to create the most relaxing and comfortable atmosphere possible, ensuring an optimal and soothing environment.
Testing different shapes, materials, sizes, heights, lighting colors, and more...
After lots of iterations and test, a final form and hue was created
Soothe was designed with a true 360-degree experience in mind, so I intentionally avoided a traditional on/off switch, which implies a “front” and “back.” Instead, power is activated through a gentle, tactile rotation of the sphere
Turn to the right to turn on.
Turn to the left to turn off.
The on and off function of soothe was a meticulously thought out process. The twist isn’t just a functional gesture, it’s meant to be a physical moment of calm. As the sphere turns beneath your fingertips, there’s a soft, deliberate resistance that feels grounding, almost meditative. The interaction of turning on the lamp becomes part of the soothing ritual itself.
