PLAYLIGHT

PLAYLIGHT|To Play with Light, To Create Light

PLAYLIGHT transforms light from a fixed illumination into an active act of creation.
By rotating its modular structure, the user can freely alter the intensity and direction of light.
Born from architectural thinking, this system introduces a new concept of tactile lighting,
where the process of shaping light becomes a creative experience in itself.

Architectural Geometry

PLAYLIGHT takes its form from pure geometry—a composition of polygons and circles.
Layers of wood overlap, allowing light to breathe and spread as it rotates.
When closed, it becomes a box; when opened, it unfolds like a luminous flower,
a manifestation of beauty between stillness and motion.
The order embedded in material and proportion gives rise to an architectural sense of aesthetics.

The Experience of Creating Light

A gentle touch and a simple rotation—
that small movement transforms the atmosphere of space.
PLAYLIGHT is not a device to be operated, but a presence that breathes together with the user.
In adjusting the light, awareness and sensitivity reconnect,
turning the user into a co-creator of space.

Light in Harmony with the Environment

PLAYLIGHT uses renewable wood as its primary material, supporting a circular carbon cycle through growth, fabrication, and reuse.
In its closed state, it minimizes volume for transport, reducing energy consumption.
Its modular structure enables easy repair and replacement, extending its lifespan.
By embracing the cultural and regional value of wood,
it embodies the ethics of a contemporary product in harmony with nature.

Crossing Boundaries

PLAYLIGHT moves fluidly between architecture, interior, and craft.
It translates the architectural language we value into a product form.
It is also a tool for restoring creativity to daily life.
As it is implemented in homes, hotels, and public spaces,
it redefines the relationship between people and space,
inviting a shift from a culture of using light to a culture of living with light.
