A young Japanese designer (or “design thinker” as he calls himself on his Medium blog) named Yuichiro Morimoto has created a lamp that doesn’t require electricity. It lights up gradually by absorbing light from the surrounding space with a special surface covered with acrylic, and then releasing it at the edges.

As the lamp is illuminated, it begins to resemble the picture you see during a solar eclipse. The milky white opalescent acrylic diffuses the light gently, making the object minimalist yet memorable. Translated from Japanese, its name (“nisshoku”) just translates as “eclipse”.

The designer was inspired by a special acrylic plate that can collect light and release it at the edges, and decided to emphasize its natural properties with a form. Because it picks up light from the environment, the light intensity depends on the conditions around.
