Supersymmetry Lamp

Supersymmetry Lamp is an innovative lighting fixture designed by Alexey Danilin that embodies the theoretical physics concept of supersymmetry through its transformative capabilities, created in response to the evolving needs of home-based work environments during the global pandemic of 2020. This sophisticated lighting solution seamlessly transitions between two distinct configurations: a vertical orientation providing soft, ambient illumination for residential comfort, and a horizontal position delivering focused, task-oriented lighting for professional activities. The design's ingenuity lies in its carefully engineered construction, featuring magnetic elements and a bottom-centered wire bracing system that maintains a consistent height level (ranging from 550 to 1500 mm) across both configurations, ensuring optimal ergonomics and unobstructed light distribution. Crafted from a combination of metal, LED technology, acrylic, and incorporating magnetic retainers, the lamp exemplifies a harmonious blend of form and function. The fixture's transformation is achieved through a simple yet elegant mechanism that allows users to split or join symmetrical components, creating an engaging tactile experience enhanced by magnetic interactions. This kinetic aspect elevates the lamp beyond mere functionality, positioning it as a sophisticated piece of high-end technology. The design, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, addresses the contemporary challenge of space adaptation while maintaining aesthetic refinement. Its ability to facilitate different lighting scenarios makes it particularly valuable in the context of modern living spaces where professional and personal activities increasingly overlap, offering a practical solution for space zoning and activity-based lighting requirements.
