SHINTARO KONO WHEN WILL THE WIND RISE Acrylic and polymer lamp

When Will The Wind Rise is a light piece that gives form to the time of waiting.‎ Rather than producing a dramatic change, it creates a field of subtle movement in light and shadow, allowing the atmosphere of a room to shift slowly and almost imperceptibly.‎ Three side dials let the user shape its behavior through simple manual control, including switching and dimming.‎ By adjusting the dials, the piece generates delicate rhythms of flicker and trembling light, as if the air itself were moving slightly before anything visible begins.‎ The experience is less like operating a lamp and more like tuning a quiet condition in the room.‎ The piece was inspired by the artist’s memory of beginning to live alone in a small room in the city, while recalling a large window in a parent’s house and a white curtain gently waves by the incoming breeze.‎ When Will The Wind Rise was created from that distance between present space and remembered air, turning a private memory of wind into a light for everyday life.‎ Specifications: materials: acrylic board, engineered polymer; primarily USB-powered (non-rechargeable); includes USB power cable (adapter not included); can also be used cordlessly with a commercially available power bank stored in the side compartment; controls: side dials for on/off, dimming, and light behavior adjustment; can be wall-mounted.‎ Further info from manufacturer on WHEN WILL THE WIND RISE SHINTARO KONO
