On April 22nd, Earth Day, we step away from numbers for a moment and return to a quieter idea—time.

At SEEDDESIGN, a light is never just a tool to dispel darkness. It is a presence that lives with you, through the rhythms of everyday life. We believe sustainability is not defined by how often something is replaced, but by how long it is kept. To create something you would never want to discard—that, to us, is where it begins. When a light continues to live in a place you care about over years and years, its quiet persistence becomes a gesture of care toward the world.

Around the world, nearly 200 million people live with chronic insomnia. In a fast-moving, always-connected world, sleep has quietly become one of the greatest challenges of modern life.

Long work hours, family responsibilities, and the constant rhythm of daily demands often keep our minds racing long after we lie down. If the world cannot immediately grow quiet, perhaps we can begin with something simple — turning off the lights.

This World Sleep Day, we invite you to create a personal “buffer zone before sleep.” Through three stages of lighting at home, allow the body and mind to settle, rediscover the quiet of the night, and practice the gentle art of letting yourself rest.

In the lighting philosophy of Seeddesign, a bedside lamp is more than illumination. It is a gentle punctuation mark at the end of the day — accompanying the final page of a book, gathering the scattered moments of a busy day, and quietly handing them over to the night.

If you are planning your bedroom lighting, consider starting with these three fixture types.

A period of innovation and experimentation with new techniques

At that time, you could never see a cement lamp in the market, every experimental idea was an adventure. At the beginning it was even difficult to reach a breakthrough making the cement strong enough to avoid cracking. After a series of failures, the R&D team turned to looking for a composite material. In a series of approaches eventually coming up with a formula and appropriate temperature that effectively accelerated the concrete curing and crystallized in this way encloses the aggregate particles and produces a dense material , ensuring its comprehensive and impact strengths by a critical 40-degree impact test. The mold, on the other hand, is hand-made with inner high-precision silicone rubber + outer plaster for easy demolding and for giving that delicate and smooth texture.

WÚ: A Bright Spot in Challenging Times

“ Find your own light ”

During the Covid-19 pandemic, Li, Hui Lun found herself working from home for extended periods. She noticed that switching on her bedroom light would disturb her family members sharing the same space. This observation sparked an idea: to design a ‘personal light’ that would provide illumination without causing disruption. And thus, WÚ was born.

Flexible Light Layout

With its double-shaft design, WÚ offers versatile lighting options, allowing users to adjust both horizontal and vertical angles by extending the arm to the desired distance and rotating the shade to cast a 66° beam onto objects without interference. Beyond serving as a downward light, when recessed into its niche and the shade flipped upward, it can also provide indirect wall washing illumination, perfect for creating a relaxing ambiance.

Superior Color Rendering Index (CRI) 95

The premium CRI 95 warm white light of WÚ faithfully restores the original colors of objects and ensures a thoughtful eye care experience. Available in three color options, WÚ complements any interior style and tone.

Desinger   Chang, Huan Rou

Creating a lamp involves not only a design concept that brims with creativity, but also a group of precise craftsmen who can turn imagination into reality – the SEEDDESIGN Research and Development team.

The SEEDDESIGN R&D team brings the creative vision of designers to reality by using unique structures and innovative materials. With years of experience and skillful hands, they meticulously oversee the production process – from welding to shaping and polishing, through their dedication and attention to details, the team artfully brings together beauty and functionality in every SEEDDESIGN lamp.

That morning, Mr. Gong shared little-known stories about product development and production in the meeting room after returning from the factory.

Can you introduce your job responsibilities to everyone?

– Essentially, I hold responsibility for the entire product creation process. 

Once the mission has been defined, I collaborate with various departments to review feasibility assessments. After that, I oversee the production of all materials and manufacturing methods to ensure that they meet quality standards.

What’s the toughest process of turning a design blueprint into a finished product?

– I believe it’s welding for sure.

Welding is the most challenging step due to potential metal deformation caused by high temperatures. Even with robotic welding, it is difficult to achieve the same level of precision as manual adjustments performed by skilled craftsmen. Other than that, computer-controlled machining, including CNC lathes, milling machines, and punches, is typically more precise and manageable.

What is the most remarkable lamp you have ever made?

– LALU+ pendant lamp.

The lamp requires a complex process that involves multiple welding stages, as well as careful attention to accuracy due to its rotatable stem. When welding two D-shaped tubes to form the oval stem, any excess can lead to uneven weight distribution and cause the lamp post to tilt. That’s why we rely on skilled craftsmen to meticulously remove any resulting weld marks and achieve a flawless finish that allows for smooth rotation.

Which of the Seed collections is your favorite one?

– Planet floor lamp.

The lamp’s arm can be extended to the desired distance, and its height can also be adjusted by rotating the gears. I love the gears, which have a finely tuned engineering design and are very functional. I often adjust the arm in different ways and think about how to optimize its usability while playing with it on my desk.

What is your approach to continuously breaking through technical challenges?

– When faced with technical challenges, we take an approach of continuous learning and collaboration. 

We visit other processing plants to gather insights and improve our capabilities, and work closely with our partners to overcome bottlenecks. We also stay current with the latest technology and equipment, conducting internal experiments and searching for opportunities to establish standard systems. One example of this is our DJ DIMMER structure, which underwent a rigorous experimental process, undergoing at least 23,000 cycles of rotation to ensure durability before it was launched.

What are the most significant changes for you since setting up the factory in 1997 until now?

–Well,  not much has changed fundamentally.

My main goal has always been to make steady progress. Over the past 20 years, I have emphasized to my colleagues the importance of staying focused and careful to maintain high quality. We cannot afford to skip any steps in production to save time. It’s not rocket science, but we need to do it right to succeed.

Have you ever felt proud to work for SEED?

– Absolutely, it’s a great honor.

Our design concept, emotional engagement, and every production process for our collections are of high-end quality. Even our external manufacturers take pride in producing our products, and one plastic factory mentioned that their customers recognize their superior quality because they make parts for SEED. Although our competitors may try to replicate our ideas, our top-notch products speak for themselves.

What has driven you for the past twenty years or so?

– Being able to face different challenges always excites me!

The complexity of making lighting fixtures with a wide range of materials can make the job challenging, but since my first day at SEED, I have eagerly tackled any issues that arise and genuinely look forward to coming to work every day.

Moreover, SEED’s work environment is excellent, with design director Mr. Chen giving me the freedom to showcase my skills. Many of my colleagues have been with the company for over a decade, and as time went on, we have all become friends!
