There is an essential relationship between the sun and moon and humanity, one that has shaped our biological and cultural evolution since the dawn of human existence.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, people began to disengage with the rhythm dictated by the sun. The day was broken into shifts, workplaces became roofed, and artificial light made daylight redundant. Seemingly, we have conquered darkness.
However, our relationship with natural light and our biologically imprinted rhythms are still with us. In fact, the change in our lifestyle created a gap between the rhythms: for the first time, the rhythm of life has become different from our biological rhythm. We compensate for this gap using a variety of uppers and downers – coffee, medicines and drugs.
Time Fixture seeks to return the natural rhythm to our lives. To resynchronize the biological body rhythm – the circadian rhythm – and the contemporary lifestyle. A home light fixture inspired by the sun and emulates the natural properties of light, thereby creating a space that meets the need for an external indicator to synchronize the biological functions with our individual schedule.
The qualities of natural light are expressed in the fixture in three ways:
The light fixture will provide the home space with the qualities of natural light and restore the synchronicity so essential for our contemporary lifestyle and personal schedule.
