When not in use as a projector, LUMI functions as a stylish floor lamp, enhancing both ambiance and practicality. Inspired by the natural action of turning off lights before using a projector, LUMI simplifies the transition from a well-lit space to an immersive cinematic experience. With intuitive controls, users can effortlessly switch between ambient lighting and entertainment, eliminating the need for multiple devices. Whether setting the mood, enjoying a movie night, or refining home aesthetics, LUMI offers a refined, space-saving solution for the future of personal media centers.

With the rising trend of single-member households, it is ever more important to design products that consider the practicality and user experience of small spaces or users who live alone.
Changing of Life Style
Factors like the pandemic have driven the "stay-at-home economy," increasing the demand for home entertainment and working devices.
Raising of Streaming Media
Online video streaming services such as Netflix and YouTube are gaining popularity worldwide, producing various contents that will be available in wider screen formats for smart devices.

Projector Stand
- It takes up extra space in the living room when not in use

I analyzed the high-end projectors on the market. They can provide a great experience for home theaters, but most of the projectors on the market are square box-shaped, which makes them look professional and cold.
Inspiration
Users will naturally turn off the lights in the room before using the projector. In that case, why not design a concept that combines a floor lamp with a projector that turns on and turns off at the same time?
