As a prefix, re- is used to indicate repetition or withdrawal, both of which are the essences of this project.

re- is a series of hanging lamps that seeks to create a relaxing atmosphere in one’s personal space for one to unwind after a hard day of work. Their gentle oscillations in the presence of air currents emulate the way Rain Tree’s branches sway in the wind. When switched on, the lampshades diffuse light warmly and in a cozy manner, and the leaves of the rain tree are made visible. In addition, the material of the lampshades as it interacts with light is meant to resemble dappled sunlight filtering through the canopy of the Rain Tree.
