ilsangisang’s new luminaire design appears like a mysterious floating lampshade

the luminaire by ilsangisang features a white solid base and lampshade, connected through a transparent vertical stand. combined with the pure white elements, the see-through surface seems to absorb all colors, representing further the concept of light, which reveals everything in the world as it is. 

the translucent middle section makes the lampshade look like it is floating in the air, evoking wonder and mystery. due to its particular design, the lamp is transformed into an ‘open space’, merging with its background surroundings. its presence can be observed further by the side light formed when the switch is on, and the various objects that may be placed on the base tray.
