"Nomad is a portable solar lamp charged indoors by natural light, with a symmetrical shape understood like an hourglass. Turning the lamp over switches between two modes, solar charging and ambient lighting, and this flip is the only real interaction. The lamp becomes its own panel and its own shade, depending on which disc is facing up, so the ritual of using it is also the ritual of charging it."
"In charging mode, the solar panel disc faces upward, and the lamp stands on its light-emitting base, soaking up whatever daylight the room offers. In lighting mode, you flip it so the light disc faces up and the panel becomes the base. There is no separate switch; the act of turning the object over is how you decide whether you are storing light or spending it, which makes the interaction feel almost automatic after a few days."
"The subtle LED display on the side of the column is a vertical row of dots that visualizes the light quality in a room. In charging mode, more or brighter LEDs mean better solar potential. This invites you to move the lamp around, onto a windowsill, a stack of books, or a shelf, and see where it charges fastest. Over time, you build a mental map of where your home is secretly good at catching sun."
Nomad is a portable indoor solar lamp with an hourglass-like symmetrical shape that flips between two modes: charging and ambient lighting. In charging mode the solar panel disc faces upward and the lamp sits on its light-emitting base to absorb available daylight. In lighting mode the light disc faces up and the panel serves as the base, eliminating any separate switch. A vertical LED row visualizes room light quality and encourages repositioning for better charging. The lamp uses muted colors and a matte finish to resemble a small plinth, making it suitable for living-room placement.
