Lei Light Reflection: A Harmonious Blend of Light and Aroma

Yasuyuki Nagato's Multifunctional Lighting Wins Silver A' Design Award

In a world where design intersects with sensory experience, Yasuyuki Nagato's Lei Light Reflection stands out as a multifaceted masterpiece, combining light, aroma, and reflection in a single, elegant form.

The Lei Light Reflection draws its aesthetic inspiration from the serene beauty of traditional Japanese andon lanterns and the subtle transitions of Japan's seasons. This innovative design transcends the conventional, integrating a lighting fixture with an aroma diffuser and mirror, creating a multi-sensory experience that is both practical and poetic.

Distinct in its functionality, the Lei Light Reflection offers three color options and four dimming levels, allowing users to tailor their environment to their mood or activity. The oval-shaped frame houses a cleverly designed reflected light system that casts a gentle, ambient glow from any angle. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the aluminum body of the Lei Light Reflection is a testament to superior craftsmanship.

At the heart of this design is an international patent-pending aroma diffuser technology. Utilizing capillary action, a few drops of aroma oil spread evenly across an aluminum plate, which, when heated, efficiently diffuses a fragrance into the space. This innovative approach to scent distribution is both effective and visually unobtrusive.

Yasuyuki Nagato, in collaboration with SOL style designers Yu Ito and Yoshimi Kemmotsu, has realized a product that is not only a visual delight but also an interactive experience. Users can effortlessly adjust the light's angle, brightness, and color to suit their preferences, while the aroma diffuser gently releases their chosen scent, contributing to an atmosphere of calm and comfort.

Conceived and brought to life between May 2021 and January 2024 in Chiba/Tokyo, Japan, the Lei Light Reflection is a design that encapsulates the essence of modern living. Its compact dimensions (201mm x 78mm x 355mm) make it a versatile addition to any personal space, while its design excellence has been recognized with a prestigious Silver A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category for 2024.

As the Lei Light Reflection garners acclaim, it is clear that Yasuyuki Nagato's creation is more than just a lighting product; it is a celebration of light, scent, and form that enhances the ambiance of any room. With its innovative features and award-winning design, the Lei Light Reflection is poised to illuminate and inspire living spaces around the world.
