Della provides ambient room and mood lighting as a floor lamp and its two-piece rotating arms can be removed for use as lanterns or as flashlights. The portable lamp has an LED array capped with a diffuser on one end and a flashlight on the other. The base contains the DC converter and storage for the excess power cord. In case of a power outage, the battery-powered portable lamp turns on automatically. 


 Judges’ comments:

  • Innovative interactivity in various contexts: emergency and emotional
  • Defined design problems with visual anthropology and opportunity maps
  • Thorough research on lighting and sustainable materials
