1. Lumio Teno Lava lamp, from Hello Lumio
Designed to intrigue, the light source of this portable lamp is hidden in a bowl-shaped form that emits both a gentle glow and soothing sounds. Created by Jakarta-born architect Max Gunawan, the sculpture-like invention is crafted from cast resin and textured natural sand on the outside shell to deliver a tactile experience when holding it.
When you slide the bowl open, the battery-operated lamp switches on and provides a soft and warm glow from the high-output LED bulb within. To activate the speaker, simply tap the lamp; it has been designed to intuitively recognise finger gestures through built-in touch sensors. Equipped with a bluetooth chip, an amplifier, and a noise-cancelling microphone, the lamp delivers high-quality and crystal-clear audio.
