Atun Lighting Products

Atun Lighting Products is an innovative collection of lighting fixtures that draws profound inspiration from Ancient Egyptian civilization, specifically the symbolic Djed pillar representing balance, strength, and reincarnation. This culturally significant lighting series, designed by Mohamed Selim El Kady, masterfully integrates traditional Egyptian cultural aesthetics with contemporary design sensibilities, earning recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category. The collection features meticulously crafted pieces utilizing environment-friendly and sustainable materials that echo those employed in ancient Egyptian craftsmanship, including Asersus wood, Alabaster marble, Marmar stone, borosilicate glass, and gold-plated copper. The design philosophy behind Atun is deeply rooted in the Great Aten Hymn, reflecting the ancient Egyptian reverence for light and its spiritual significance. The product range encompasses various dimensions, with pieces ranging from 9x9x25cm to 16x16x27cm, each designed to provide uniform illumination while serving as sculptural art pieces. The manufacturing process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, employing AutoCAD, 3D MAX, CNC milling, manual lathe machining, and laser cutting techniques. These lighting fixtures not only serve functional purposes by ensuring safe and comfortable illumination but also act as cultural ambassadors, bridging the gap between ancient Egyptian heritage and contemporary interior design aesthetics, while maintaining a strong focus on user interaction and environmental consciousness.
