Light is having a big emotional impact on us. Cold light can makes us feel awake, energetic, but also discomfortable, whereas warm light can makes us feel warm, comfortable and welcome. But what about the lamp itself? Often designer lamps are very stripped down, raw, and cold objects. The idea behind the Lamp Fur You was to create an object that, besides the warm light, makes us feel comfortable with its presence in the room. It feels familiar, keeps us company and calms us when we stroke it`s fluffy fur. Some say it might be humans best friend.
