Color-Changing Sun Lamps

Arnout Meijer's Thanks for the Sun is Inspired by the Hues of the Sun

In light of the 2014 IMM Cologne Exhibition and the growing movement towards adapting design with technology, Rotterdam designer Arnout Meijer created and designed a series of color-changing lamps called 'Thanks for the Sun.'

Meijer was inspired by the need for a lighting system that is capable of satisfying the multifaceted role of different shades of lighting. By providing bright white lights for efficient work and concentration, a warmer lighting hue will help the user relax before bed by inducing slumber.

Arnout Meijer presented this project at the IMM Cologne Trade Fair as part of the [D3] Design Talents Exhibition.

According to Meijer, he wanted to "let light play the main character. So [he] wanted to make a lamp series where the design and the shape was about the light."
