Moonshadow

Moonshadow, a pendant lamp, encapsulates a poetic tribute to the timeless beauty of natural peace. In the midst of a fast-paced world, Moonshadow intends to bring a peaceful and warm night into a concrete city.

Marrying the dynamic allure of moonlight with the steadfast presence of a pine structure, Moonshadow harmoniously unites these contrasting elements, crafting a serene ambiance. In an intentional departure from complex and redundant modern technology, Moonshadow discreetly conceals its functional features behind smooth, elegant curves. With its unique switch, a simple twist, Moonshadow not only implements the functionality of lightness control but also creates an emotional interaction between users and the lamp.

Much like parting clouds to reveal the moon's glow, a gentle twist of Moonshadow introduces a luminous serenity into the night and future, beckoning us to embark on a mindful journey of self-discovery and a return to nature's tranquility.

Introducing Moonshadow, an exquisite creation measuring 16.0" (W) x 10.0" (D) x 96.0"+ (H), meticulously fashioned from two 8-foot Cherrywood planks. Its sleek contours marry the precision of CNC machining with the artistry of hand-sanding, resulting in a flawless finish that captivates the eye.

Within its structure lie discreet pathways, facilitating seamless connections between the side table, lamp, and ceiling connector, ensuring both functionality and aesthetic harmony. The ethereal "Moon" centerpiece, aglow with the radiance of an LED strip and diffused through an SLA-Printed lampshade, captures the imagination. An ingenious 3D-printed "Moon" cover, designed for effortless access via a simple clockwise rotation mechanism, adds to its functionality. Moreover, a rotation dimming mechanism, meticulously crafted with FDM printing technology, allows for precise control of its luminosity.

The assembly process of Moonshadow is a testament to intricate engineering. From the aluminum tube and seamlessly integrated screw insert of the ceiling connector to the CNC-machined lamp split into two parts for optimal cable management and side table connection, every detail is meticulously attended to.

The side table, meticulously contoured to echo the silhouette of the moon's shadow, amplifies its luminance. Crafted from aluminum, it seamlessly transitions to the main branch, enriching the visual narrative of any space it graces.

Last but not least, the natural rock connecting Moonshadow to the ground adds a touch of earthy elegance. The process of drilling a hole through the rock, reminiscent of the adage "Drops of water penetrate the stone," underscores the value of persistence in craftsmanship. Indeed, every step of the journey, from prototype to final product, is a testament to the art of continual learning and growth.
