Each ‘Relumine’ uses two, discarded lamps, which are disassembled, sanded, newly lacquered and adapted with newer technology, before they are connected by a glass tube which holds a fluorescent tube. By introducing a different means of light source to the old lamps, their look and feel changes completely.

It has two knobs on the main body, the front one for adjusting brightness and the back for adjusting lighting angles.

The “wings” would change positions in accordance with the light adjustment, imitating a seagull flapping wings to soar into the sky. The design delivers not only light but also interactive fun to users.”
