    The soft and warm color of 2000K, like a candle, is an essential element in the world view of hymn.

    The flickering light is created by the movement of the pendulum lens, and the characteristic movement of the LED light when it is on and off is also a key point of the design. When the light is on, it shines strongly as if on fire, then the light intensity settles down, and after that, you can choose a stronger intensity if you like. When the light is turned off, it blinks out like a fire, playfully expressing the fun of interacting with light.

    It is also IP66 waterproof, which means it can withstand strong water flow from all directions, so it can be used in the bathroom or outdoors. The dome-shaped glass shade is one of the most unique features of hymn, as it adopts a shape that cannot be achieved by ordinary fire.

    Whilst researching the state of light in the modern age, an image of a church I visited in Florence, Italy, suddenly came to my mind. There was a semi-underground space directly underneath the chapel, and although it was dimly lit, I remember that there was a hint of daylight shining through the small window, and the atmosphere felt crisp and clear.
    A grain of light was floating among that space, flickering, and wavering. It was a single candle flame.

    As I trace back the vivid memories and ponder, there is no doubt that the existence of fire, which has been used by humans since ancient times, is closely connected to our lives even today.
    People gather around fire to pray, eat, and talk by its light, and creates a warm scene of light that accompanies human life. I feel that these sceneries continue to create new emotions that move our hearts deeply.

    “hymn” was presented in Milan, Italy, in 2019 as a prototype work based on the concept of the primitive light, fire. After another two years of development, it has been commercialized as a new ambient lighting by Ambientech in 2021.

    Inherited from the original prototype design, the acrylic component is formed into a special shape based on the mechanism and optics of a lens. When light is projected from the bottom, the refraction effect causes light to appear at the top of the acrylic component. It is balanced by a delicate arm and rises, creating a fragile and irregular texture of transforming light under the analog but invisible force of magnets.

    The overall design that supports the acrylic component is inspired by the traditional apparatus for lighting fire. For the design to settle into our living space, the geometric form of hymn is made up of soft lines and minimalistic yet cutting edge details, realized by Ambientec's technology. Tools that have emerged from the relationship between light and human life have provided hints to better understand fire itself.

    The aim of this ambient lighting is not to reproduce or simulate fire in a realistic way.
    It is about reinterpreting the existence of fire and sublimating its fundamental appeal into an experiential value that expands the concept of our daily lives.

    Inspired by the various devices that have emerged from the relationship between light and people, the overall image is composed of soft lines and edgy details that have been trimmed away.
