SHINTARO KONO SAIL ME AWAY LED table lamp with dimmer and speaker

Sail Me Away is a small boat-shaped light piece.‎ Carefully sculpted as an object, it transforms a room into an open sea and quietly invites a sense of voyage.‎ The piece is USB-powered (non-rechargeable).‎ Tilting it forward or backward controls dimming and on/off, while tilting it to the left or right activates a speaker mounted on the back, playing the sound of the open ocean.‎ Through these gestures, the work becomes more than a lamp, gently guiding the user into the feeling of setting out on a journey.‎ The boat is inspired by traditional Japanese cargo ships used in the Edo period for domestic maritime transport.‎ During Japan’s period of national isolation, these ships were not intended for open-ocean travel; within that limitation, their form emerged as a practical and economical solution, characterized by a single-sail structure.‎ Reimagined as Living Equipment, this boat appears in the present not as a historical reproduction, but as a small device that stirs wanderlust in everyday life.‎ Specifications:  materials: plastic; USB-powered (non-rechargeable); includes USB power cable (adapter not included); controls: tilt forward/backward for on/off and dimming, tilt left/right to play ocean sounds from the rear-mounted speaker; not waterproof.‎ Further info from manufacturer on SAIL ME AWAY SHINTARO KONO
