The idea for our bachelor project emerged from a shift in perspective: a light conceived not merely as a source of illumination but as a quiet companion in everyday life—one that responds to subtle, habitual gestures. The simple act of coming home and placing down a set of keys—something everyone does a little differently each day—became our starting point. Working with porcelain, we created a refined object that makes use of the material both functionally and emotionally: translucent, restrained, and precise. A subtle presence in the room, offering a sense of calm. As the project developed, it became increasingly clear how layered the theme truly is. It’s not just about form or technology, but about ritual, a feeling of belonging, and intuitive interaction. Its relevance lies in this very connection between design and the everyday—especially in a time when so many things feel loud and overly complex.
