Meditative LED bowl lamp recharges with circular motions

Shlomi Mir is one of Israel’s most visionary designers whose recent tumbleweed anti-desertification project earned him a Lexus Design Award alongside giants like Toyo Ito. But its his beautiful rechargeable LED bowl lamp that we are drooling over today – an elegant combination of art, design, tradition, technology and even spirituality.

Inspired by traditional Tibetan Singing Bowls, traditional mortar and pestles and modern technology, Mir designed the lamp to be meditative and functional.

Equipped with a copper coil that functions as both a reflector and energy generator, along with a low-energy Light Emitting Diode (LED) bulb, and a magnet, the lamp is recharged with kinetic energy.

But it requires a very specific kind of motion to charge this lamp – a meditative and circular motion, one that makes it easy to do a few minutes of meditation in exchange for a gentle illumination.
