Hymn lamp by Hiroto Yoshizoe for Ambientec

Dezeen Showroom: Japanese designer Hiroto Yoshizoe has created the Hymn lamp for Ambientec, using magnets to create a flickering light reminiscent of a candle in a chamberstick.

The Hymn lamp is a portable design that combines the charm of an antique with contemporary ingenuity.

The Hymn lamp produces a warm, flickering glow similar to a candle

The lamp contains a small lens lit with a warm LED light that sits pendulum-like on a sculptural metal loop. When the lamp is turned on, two magnets repel the lens, making it move with tiny, constant oscillations that follow an unpredictable rhythm.

Yoshizoe exhibited an early prototype of Hymn at the 2019 Salone Satellite in Milan, where it got the attention of Ambientec founder and CEO Yoshinori Kuno and was subsequently developed with the brand for two years.

The effect is created through a pendulum-like lens suspended between two magnets

"Hymn avoids being a slavish imitation of a flame," said Kuno. "Beginning with Hirot Yoshizoe's inspired idea and respecting its originality, we chose not to fall into the trap of a realistic, didactic effect."

"Rather, we aimed to create a new concept of intimate, moving light by combining LED technology, magnets and lens in an unexpected way."

Hymn's base and handle is made of anodised aluminium with either a gold or black finish, and the lamp is both waterproof and durable, making it suitable for the outdoors as well as indoors.

Turn and Turn+ portable lamps by Nao Tamura for Ambientec

Dezeen Showroom: the Turn and Turn+ family of lighting is a series of rechargeable and portable lamps that can provide up to 500 hours of light, created by Nao Tamura for Japanese brand Ambientec.

New York-based Japanese designer Tamura created the Turn desk lamp in 2019 for Ambientec. The lamp combines high-tech lighting with detailed artisanal craftsmanship and fine materials.

Turn is characterised by its sleek metal form that contrasts the soft, radiant glow emanating from the light

The Turn collection is designed as a study of contrasts: the elegant metallic forms juxtapose the soft, candle-like glow emitted from the circular shades.

The lamp features an integrated touch sensor, which is activated through a gentle tap on the top of the shade. This enables the intensity of the light to be adjusted or dimmed in order to suit a wide range of activities.

The Turn lamps are cordless, rechargeable, waterproof and dust-resistant

Its cordless design means that the lamp can be used in a wide array of settings including bedrooms, bathrooms, hotels, restaurants, and even outdoors on balconies or gardens. The lamp is waterproof and features an enclosure that prevents dust ingress.

Like its predecessor, Turn+ is carved from a block of robust metals such as stainless steel, brass or black aluminum, which have been selected for their durability. The new addition is also available with the choice of solid glass for its diffuser.
