adjustable lantern

A stylish outdoor centrepiece light to reconnect people with nature and provide a social talking point. With adaptable brightness and colour temperature, featuring a rhythmic flashing light.

 

With a telescopic mechanism to adjust the brightness to the desired preference and a  twisting operation to tailor light colour from 1000k to 10000k.

Using recycled PET to form an unapologetic premium plastic product, united with natural materials, to revitalise the perception of plastic being a quality, keepsake material.

portable - unapolagetic - premium

Insights into the lack of control became apparent when looking at existing products, with the majority have a very limited brightness setting and almost none with light colour settings.

Though the use of experimentation with handle types the models made could be tested and analysed to find the most appropriate handle that was in keeping with the narrative of sleek design.

manufacturing

Utilising recycled bottles as the main source of material to form the thin outer body of the lantern, incorporated with the overall form inspired and derived from the simplistic 2litre bottle shape. In hope to change the perception of ‘cheap’ and ‘throw away’ single use items.
