Fogila: The Environment Cleansing Floorlamp

Revolutionizing Indoor Air Quality with Innovative Design

Taking inspiration from the vital elements of nature, the sun, air, and leaves, the Fogila floorlamp by Kevin Chu combines innovative technology with sustainable design to create a unique solution for improving indoor air quality.

With the rapid urbanization of our cities, pollution levels have reached unprecedented heights. As architects and designers, it is our responsibility to find innovative ways to combat this issue and create a healthier living environment for urban dwellers. The Fogila floorlamp does just that by harnessing the power of photocatalysis, a process that uses nano-particles to clean the air of toxins and impurities.

Unlike traditional air purifiers, the Fogila floorlamp utilizes natural light and air to activate its environment cleansing effect. The lamp is made entirely out of recycled laser-cut steel, staying true to the designer's commitment to environmentalism. During the day, when placed near a natural light source, the lamp works to clean the surrounding environment. At night, when the LED light is switched on, the cleansing action continues.

The photocatalytic coating on the lamp's surface decomposes harmful organic substances, such as nitrogen dioxide and volatile compounds, effectively improving indoor air quality. This coating also possesses a deodorizing effect, eliminating unpleasant odors from the environment. What sets the Fogila floorlamp apart is its non-toxic nature, making it safe for humans and the environment.

One of the design's unique features is its customization aspect. The lamp comes with a series of screens that can be magnetically attached to the openings, allowing users to change the lamp's appearance to suit their interior style. Additionally, all accessories are also treated with the photocatalytic coating, further enhancing the lamp's environment cleaning capabilities.

The Fogila floorlamp is the result of years of research and development. The designer, Kevin Chu, collaborated with experts in the field to create a lamp that not only cleans the air but also meets the highest standards of design and functionality. The lamp's low voltage LED light tube is adjustable via a phone app and remote, allowing users to control the strength of illumination and color range.

With its sleek and modern design, the Fogila floorlamp seamlessly integrates into any interior space. Its dimensions of 1700mm in height, 825mm in width, and 500mm in depth make it a statement piece that adds both style and functionality to a room. Weighing only 14kg, the lamp is easy to move and reposition as needed.

The Fogila floorlamp has already garnered recognition in the design world. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category in 2018. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate innovation, practicality, and adherence to professional and industrial requirements.

As we continue to face the challenges of urbanization and environmental pollution, designs like the Fogila floorlamp offer a glimmer of hope. By combining cutting-edge technology with sustainable materials and a sleek design, Kevin Chu has created a product that not only improves indoor air quality but also enhances the aesthetic appeal of any space. The Fogila floorlamp is a testament to the power of design to create a better and healthier world.
