Designed with sentiment to become uniquely your own, the Numen Light is designed to combat overconsumption and help people build real connections with their objects.
The Numen Light is controlled by simple gestures anywhere on the metal surface of the light, allowing the user to create their own method of interaction. But a bond can’t be built from only one side. In response to this individual interaction, the lights surface slowly wears away, revealing the bronze underlayer from beneath the silver surface. This call and response of intentional degradation builds over time, signifying your interaction with the lamp, and transforming it into a unique object representing you alone.

This project was created alongside a paper about the history and impact of production and consumption. It can be read here.
