PAOPAO is inspired by the naive, childish fantasy of bubbles. The crystal-clear bubbles expand with each breath, capturing the dynamic beauty of bubbles in motion with their organic, round curves. This unique design is treated with vacuum plating, giving the glass top a layered, translucent color that enhances the finesse of the glass shade and creates a unique, fantastic glow.
When the lights are off, the glowing luster of PAOPAO reflects with dazzling beauty. When the lights are on, the smoky texture reveals a mysterious, hazy brightness that transforms any space. This exceptional design quality is what made PAOPAO stand out and win the prestigious iF Design Award 2023.

“ The WING resembles a graceful dancer in the spotlight, its translucent dual-leaf design diffusing light to create a captivating dynamic beauty in a space. ”
—— Designer Wang, Sheng Wen
Playing with dreamy light
The concept of “light and shadow” is beautifully captured in WING. Its elegant, translucent dual-leaf design gracefully moves within the ring frame, casting a soft glow throughout the surrounding air. As the night descends, WING truly comes to life, enchanting all those who behold its magical ambience.
Dual-light: Blending beauty with reality
WING’s stunning design includes the innovative feature of “dual lighting”, which utilizes two light sources to softly illuminate the translucent dual-leaf structure from above. Not only does this technique brighten the ceiling, but it also creates a playful sway and diffuses a cozy, ethereal ambiance throughout the space. The downward light source offers a high-performance LED with CRI>95, and high-efficiency optical lens narrows the beam angle to 66° to meet ample illumination without glare.
Details reveal sleek metal texture
WING’s sleek and modern design is achieved through a hidden screw structure that seamlessly connects the lamp post and ring frame. This innovative design gives the lamp post a clean and streamlined appearance that is as sophisticated as it is practical. The integral molding fin design not only enhances the lamp’s refined metallic texture but also improves LED heat dissipation, ensuring a long lifespan for the light source.
▲ With high performance CRI 95 light sources, WING faithfully showcases the true colors of objects with natural illumination.
▲ Flipping to add a touch of delight to daily life in its ever-changing postures.
▲ WING’s dual-leaf design creates a graceful and elegant glow, perfect for creating a serene ambiance in the house.

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.
Vice General Manager: Gong, Yu Quan
Mr. Gong, the VGM of SEEDDESIGN, is known for his dedication to challenges and meticulous approach. Since 1997, he has been leading the R&D team to create numerous classic products, emphasizing the importance of strict supervision of every production process. He enjoys tackling difficult problems and ensures that every light can be placed in the ideal space of each customer with the highest quality.
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!
The design director in Seed, Meiric, plays a huge role in how the group reacts and moves forward, for whom he must consider the relationship between the brand, design, and people from a broader perspective .
Lamp designers are like poets who wander and seize every fleeting inspiration in daily life, transforming the ideas into sketches with the Midas touch, and refine to a sophisticated and timeless work to light up the darkness.
Featuring rotatable arm and shade, WÚ is the most flexible wall lamp that can be set precisely illuminating the preference nook by side.
Find your own light
Equipped with a double-shaft structure, WÚ has many different ways of usage with its horizontal and vertical lighting directions by pulling the arm out to the favored distance, and twisting the shade to project a 66° beam onto an object without disturbing one another. In addition to serving as a downlight, while pushing the fixture back into its niche and flipping the shade upward, it can also be an indirect wall washing light for a comfortable relaxing mood.
▲ Wall washing by folding the fixture back into the niche creates a soft and charming effect.
▲ Temporary space for some small accessories.
▲ Intuitive brightness control: Short touch to switch on/off, long touch for progressive dimming.
▲ Adjustable direct and indirect light.
▲ Premium CRI 95 warm white light restores the objects’original color of the item and provides a considerate eye care experience. WÚ is now available in three colorways to suit any interior style and tone.
▲Pearl cocoa + matt black
▲Sand gold + matt black
▲Oatmeal + matt white

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.
