description / Conceived for the Winter Anti Depression Show at MARRES in Maastricht, the lamp was originally meant to make people happier as it is scientifically proven that light with this blue color brightens people’s moods. The Blue Sky Lamp reproduces the light of a sunny day, recreating the same physical process that occurs when sunlight enters the earth’s atmosphere. Kabel conducted trials with different materials as green soap, aerogel, and Pastis dissolved in water. Eventually, he opted for a nanopowder (O2Ti). Once suspended in transparent resin, these nanoparticles diffuse the the cold light of the powerled and disperse the blue lightwaves whilst the orange part of the light beams on. The material is here smartly used to make the users feel closer to the nature, improving their wellbeing.
