PRODUCT/UI/UX/INTERACTIVE

Intro.

Millennials, also known as Generation Y, refer to those born roughly between the early 1980s and the mid-1990s. As the last generation to grow up before the widespread use of the internet and the first digital natives to experience the IT revolution during their formative years, they hold a unique position in history.


Trackkk is designed specifically for millennials, who, now grown up, often find it difficult to relive the simple joys of childhood. This interactive lighting fixture bridges the gap between nostalgia and modern living by offering a playful and meaningful way to reconnect with those cherished memories.

Lighting effects

Flowing Light of Season

Flowing Light of Senses

Flowing Light of Weather

Each season has its own color, with each color resembling a musical note. By extracting colors that represent the characteristics of each season and incorporating them into the product through lighting, it creates a visual melody. Like notes written on a musical staff, this design crafts a beautiful song of the four seasons, allowing one to feel the temperature and essence of each season as they flow throughout the year.

Morning clouds bathe in rosy hues, evening rain births radiant rainbows; lightning dances by day, while the night unveils a vast starry river. Every fleeting shade of the ever-changing sky is captured in the poetry of flowing light.

The palette of life holds an infinite spectrum of emotions: the melancholy blue of sorrow, the fiery crimson of anger, the radiant yellow of joy. As these colors intertwine and merge, they weave a vivid tapestry that captures the deepest and most genuine sensations of the human soul.

Summer

Behold the graceful descent of cherry blossoms and listen to the vibrant melody of the warbler in flight.

Sense the gentle embrace of fallen leaves and savor the crisp whispers of autumn’s harvest.

Immerse yourself in the pure melody of the waves and witness the night breeze gently sweeping away the crimson mist

Hear the whisper of melting ice and snow, and gaze upon the ethereal glow of snow mirrored in the heavens.
