︎︎︎Orbit

Orbit is “Light-Assisted Sleep”, a lamp which adjusts lux and hue to emit contextually appropriate light which better caters for our body’s natural circadian rhythm.

Informed by research on sleep and human physiology, the conclusion was to create a lighting experience akin to the rising and setting of the sun.

Why is getting to bed early so hard and why do I not feel sleepy?

“Artifical light in modern societies... tricks us into believing night is still day, using a physiological lie...”


- Mathew Walker, Why We Sleep
Wireless Charging Hourglass Interaction The unique flipping interaction with Orbit is used in order to turn off the light during the sleep and wake phases. Approaching Sleep Light becomes warm - “setting” (approaching sleep). Cool and bright when “rising” (waking up).
