We are so thrilled to share the side shots of our 2022 launch event this October in Taipei. Over a hundred guests’ presence brought the light to the party, it was great to see the partners from far-off cities and the talks had been fruitful with joy!
During the event, our lighting designers conveyed their inspiration and perspectives on how they created design concepts and details of the latest collections– KONNECT, OLO Φ portable, WÚ, LISA, and WING. And Meiric, the design director, shared his experience and knowledge on how to overcome the challenges of the lighting design process.
▲ WÚ, a multi-adjustable wall lamp, will be released in 2023.
▲ OLO Φ Portable is a wireless table lamp extended from 2021 RedDot Award winner OLO Φ D.
▲ 2022 iF design award winner-OLOΦ series.
▲ SQUARE wins the 2022 Red Dot Design Award and German Design Award.
Vibing this party we had a DJ playing great music at the same time echoing SEED’s iconic device—DJ Dimmer Base— and we made a transparent unit demonstrating how the gears transmit to the dimmer, so when rotating the base clockwise, the light would gradually turn on, like DJ’s with their turntables to control brightness by scratching.
▲ MIST LED glows like a drop of golden sun.
A Joyful gathering under lights.
After showing a series of new works for late 2022 and 2023, we would like to say a big “Thank you!” to all those who participated. Thank you for spending a great afternoon with us.
The LAITO’s vintage shape brings back the silhouette of what lamps use to look like when you walked into a bank or library back in the day. Our specially designed fishbone structure enhances balance and allows rotation in the lampshade. We’ve taken what otherwise would only be considered a desk lamp and created a pendant lamp version out of of this. Ponder over your work, while LAITO focuses on you.

We start one day in bed, so as the end. Let the bedtime be a wonderful fleeting moment of our own, light up a unique bedside lamp to make a perfect ending to a long day.
Have you ever experienced eyes fatigue and blur after sitting under a pendant lamp for a while? This short symptom of glare is probably caused by improper use of lighting such as wrong hanging height, or poor lamp shade design which does not filter the extra light into our eyes.
The ideal height of hanging lightings
Most dining tables are 75-80 cm height. To prevent the eye discomfort of sitting by the table, the ideal height for hanging lamp is around 70-90 cm from the top of table to the bottom of lampshade, while a slight difference is allowed at user’s convenience and comfort.
For example, for families with small children can benefit more from hanging 70 cm due to their sight lower than adults; hanging over 90 cm is more suitable for tall family members to avoid head collisions during meals and other activities around table.
▲When the lamp hangs too high, the illuminance reduces which may be insufficient for reading.
Aesthetics concerns of spaces
Apart from the viewpoint of optics in practice, our aim in choosing a lamp is no doubt pursuing an enchanting home. A comprehensive study including the appearance of the lamp, environment of installation, or measures of the space is significant to users. Therefore, consulting with professionals like your interior, lighting designer or lighting shop will be a good choice when undertaking your lighting plan.
▲A petite light can be hanged closer to the table without stressing users below, which allows users to look into the details of the lamp easily while enjoying cheerful dinner.
▲Some people favor hanging the pendant lamps lower in order to extend the wire. It optimizes the visual proportion of a space, which looks higher and wider.
“Lighting” is the medium relieving us for home, while the dining table often plays a role in happy gatherings with your beloved. If you have no idea about how to decor your place with lights or struggle between the luminance and glare, take notes of the tips above and you will find a way out. Cherish the wonderful moment with family with an ideal lighting joining!
Centuries ago, many Chinese poets composed beautiful poems inspired by intriguing mountainous sceneries. When standing on a mountaintop, people seem to be close enough to be able to touch the clouds with their fingertips and feel the mists against their faces. In dedication to those inspiring poems, we’ve created MIST in hopes to capture that very moment. MIST combines precision craftsmenship with laborious technique, sand-blasting ever piece by hand. Turn the light on and MIST will calmly illuminate your surroundings.
