Winner of the Braun Prize 2009, the “Family of OLED lamps” by designer Johanna Schoemaker is a range of remote-controlled lamps that bloom and contract like natural flowers. Designed for her final thesis at the University of Wuppertal in Germany, the range of lamps makes use of OLED technology to produce diffuse light similar to the natural light from a thin surface instead of a pinpoint source.
The use of the OLED technology enables besides dynamic light color and intensity changes also smoothly changing light directions and wandering shadows, which turn the indoor artificial lighting even more into natural outdoor light conditions. In addition to that different opening angles enable different light directions. Controlling the ceiling lamp via a remote control with a user-friendly touchscreen interface, the lighting range apart from allowing a number of opening angles also facilitates different light directions. While on the other hand, the floor lamp is directed in an analogue way. The design of the lamps emphasizes the characteristics of the new lighting technology: Thinness, Lightness and Transparency, The OLED technology that is used is very energy efficient and environmentally friendly.
