Pulse is a wall lamp in a mortal world but a journey, metaphorically. It is a reflection on how approaching a design differently can turn into something wonderful. It's a metaphorical commentary on how something simple at first glance holds immense potential to become something entirely different. Why? Because when you are simple, you are flexible, you are adaptive, you can mold yourself however you want to. A complicated form, on the other hand, is bounded by its own structure and nature, locked into what it already is, with little to no room to evolve.

The lamp design starts as a clean, non-intimidating, 'capsule-looking' form but it rotates into this quite familiar form which quietly soothes the users mood while lighting up the space as nightstand lamp or just a simple reading lamp. Technically, the light is switched on, but aesthetically, it is revealed!

Designed primarily as a headboard sconce but it can also be utilized as fixed lamp directly as a heart shape for functions like Vanity, Corridors, Entrance lamp, etc. It is just a simple idea which when given a right amount of 'Twist' can become something expressive and outstanding!
