Human Light

Mei-yee Lui’s night light Human Light precisely captures the phrase “a hug lights up one’s world”. Inspired by the image of two people hugging each other, this innovative design gained a Bronze Award in the Student Division Conceptual Group of the Hong Kong Smart Design Awards 2020. The simple yet versatile design makes Human Light possible to be used not only as fixed lighting, but also an illuminating bracelet and even a doorstopper. The luminous band can be separated from its base, allowing users to easily pick it up and carry around at night.
