LUCENT
Indoor lighting fixture which integrates circular economy and crochet craftsmanship, breaking through traditional material limitations by using recycled TPE tubes.
LUCENT融合了循環經濟和鉤織工藝，突破傳統材料限制，採用回收的TPE軟管製作。
Material
We chose TPE as it has suitable characteristics for crocheted lighting fixture; high heat resistance, excellent elasticity, and recycleable. With using unconventional recyclable material, we hope to achieve a uniquely beautiful fusion of modern design with traditional crochet techniques.
During the material exploration process, we discovered that the TPE tube retains good elasticity even after being crocheted, allowing for easy bending, folding, and rolling, with many possibilities for development in form.
我們實驗了可回收塑料(TPE)製成的細軟管結合鉤織技法的探索，由於其具有高延展性且柔軟，我們認為它非常適合成為鉤織燈具的主要材質。我們希望以可回收材質的嘗試，實現現代設計與傳統鉤織技法的巧妙結合。
在進行材質探索的過程中，我們發現細軟管在經過鉤織後依然保有良好的可塑性，可以輕鬆彎曲、摺疊和捲起，造型上有許多發展可能。
Pattern Experiment
During the crocheting process, we continuously experimented with changing stitching patterns, stitch counts, and hook sizes to achieve desired texture and forms. Creating different light and shadow effect that enrich the visual presentation of the lighting fixture.
在進行鉤織時，我們利用不斷的嘗試改變針法及鉤針尺寸，達到想要的織物密度。並且以不同的針目及針數的掌握，控制曲面造型的變化。TPE的透明與透光特性在光線穿透後可以呈現多層次的效果，可根據鉤織的紋理和造型呈現出不同的明暗效果，使燈具在視覺呈現更為豐富。
Applications of Sustainable Woven Materials in Lighting Fixture
We design punctured parts on both sides to seamlessly integrate the crocheted body to the mechanical component of the lighting fixture.
我們在兩側設計了穿孔的部件，將鉤織主體與燈具的機構零件無縫接合。
