Concept refinement
Final product
The Banga novelty table lamp is designed to be a playful, interactive lamp mirroring the HAY brand values and integrating Asia-Pacific cultural elements, specifically the playfulness and innovativeness of Filipinos.
The way you turn the lamp on and off takes inspiration from the motion and action of the Philippine "barrel man." The rechargeable battery powered light source is hidden inside the main body of the lamp which is made of fine bone china. When the main body of the lamp is stacked on top of its barrel, the light coming from within beautifully diffuses a Filipino weave pattern. The removable barrel is made of aluminum and is sturdy for frequent movement.
