Dorian is an emotive lighting concept. Featuring six electronic candles, the design playfully simulates the same experience as traditional dinner candles. In an attempt to encourage causal socializing, the design senses the amplitude of speech and reacts with lighting equal in intensity. This interaction visually displays the semantics of conversation and in this way supports it.
The intentions of many interactive lighting designs are mainly to encourage relationships between the lighting product and its user by engaging him or her with behavioural responses. With interaction, the design of the light becomes more “emotionally durable” meaning that it will sustain the users’ interest.
People tell stories because they want to share something they enjoy. This concept is built around the shift in relationship when people are bonding with one another. Its focus is characterised by the flow of shared experiences.
