Appreciation towards Ivan Zhang, the designer reported in Oversea No.14, for providing his new works with gooood.
His another new project: Inside Out Hanger

我们需要不同的灯具，来满足室内不同位置对光线的不同需求，比如方桌，长桌，吧台，角落等等。除了地理位置，生活状态的不同：一个人工作，两个人晚餐，朋友的聚会，在同一个空间下我们对光的需求也会有所不同。

P-Lamp’正是基于光的区域变化而设计的模块化灯具。根据模块的排列组合，可以构成不同的光线区域，来满足不同的室内灯光需求。P-Lamp’独立模块的长宽比为3：1，如果以两个模块为一组，我们就可以得到从6：1到3：2的灯光区域。四个模块为一组时，我们就可以得到从12：1到4：3的灯光区域。当然，我们也可以根据不同需求，随意改变灯光照射的范围，来满足对光的不同需求。

We need various lamps to meet the requirements in different places, such as a lamp for the work space, dinner table, bar counter, corners, etc… Apart from the place, different living conditions will also have different lighting requirements even in the same space, for example, one person’s work, a family’s dinner or lots of friends’ party.

P.Lamp’ is a modular pendant lamp to meet the needs of different lighting area thought the combination of modules. The length-width ratio of an individual module is 3:1. If there are two modules in a group, there will be a lighting area from 6:1 to 3:2. With four modules, there will be a lighting area from 12:1 to 4:3. It also allows people freely to change the lighting area though different combinations.

为了实现灯光区域变化的多样性，P-Lamp’创新的开发了铝合金外壳导电的技术，解放了传统的外露电线。利用LED发光源低电压的特性，将铝合金外壳直接作为导体，通过灯与灯之间的接触来接通电路，而LED的安全低电压保证了人们可以直接触碰而不会产生任何问题。基于这个技术，P-Lamp’可以不受拘束的自由变换形态，改变光线照射的区域。这符合了A’的设计哲学，即“通过减少的方式，实现更好的效果”。同时，没有外露的电线也使得Lamp’更为简洁美观。

以模块化设计的P-Lamp’可以根据需求选择模块数量，2个，3个，4个或者更多，来满足个人，家庭或者办公空间的灯光需求。而P-Lamp’的结构设计，不仅实现了变化的多样可能，更极为方便于组装。使用者不需要阅读复杂的电路说明书来学习组装，而只需通过一根弹性绳完成组装。

In realizing the variety of lighting area, P.Lamp’ has creatively developed the technology：the aluminum unibody of P.Lamp’ can conduct electricity instead of traditional exposed wires. So the circuits will be completed just through the connection between the lamps. This technology makes full use of the characteristic that LED’s luminous resource has low voltage and allows people free to touch the lamp even it is lighting. Based on this technology, P.Lamp’ is freely to change its form and the lighting area without the limitation of traditional wires. This creative technology shows the design philosophy of A’: less but better. Furthermore, as a lamp it’s much more concise and beautiful without the exposed wires.

To meet different requirements, people can choose the number of module to satisfy the lighting requirements for the space of the individual, family, office and so on. The innovative structure design of P.Lamp’ provide not only the variety of changes, it is also rather easy to assemble. Users can finish the assembly with a piece of elastic rope instead of learning the complicate circuit instruction.
