In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, it is easy to be overwhelmed by stress and haste – so easy that you often forget to pause and acknowledge the importance of the small breaks in our daily routines.

Transition from everyday to ritual
With his project, the designer wants to pay tribute to these small moments in everyday life. Hence, he has worked with breaks as a type of rituals that are meant to help us cultivate the positive experiences and cherish our relationships with each other. In order to mark the ritual, the designer has worked with light and has created a lamp that marks the transition from everyday life to the ritual.
