Infinite 7Aroma
This is an individual project for 2020 SIT Furniture Design Award in the category of Innovative Lighting Design, and I am the winner of SIT 2020 in 'SIT underneath' category.
Research
According to my own experience about bedroom lighting and odor, I put a bedside lamp and also a fragrance diffuser on the bed-stand table in my bedroom because I am a fragrance lover. However, I always feel inconvenient to manipulate both the light and diffuser before sleep. How might I create an efficient and convenient way to combine bedside lamp with the fragrance diffuser for users to put in their bedrooms?
Inspiration
Remember the little girl from the fairy tale ‘7magic’? She had 7 magical petals from a seven-colored flower to make her wish come true, and she finally got her real happiness from using the last petal. What if we can use all 7 “petals” in real
life to obtain infinite joy?

Concept
Infinite 7Aroma is a fragrance floor lamp at home. It has 7 light bulbs and a fragrance oil bottle can be inserted under each light. You can not only use it as a lamp but also use it as a fragrance diffuser. Since color temperature of the light affects the temperature in lampshade, the volatilization speed of fragrance can be controlled by it. Thus, you can be a fragrance designer to create your own aroma by changing the color temperature of the light. When you are in the mood wanting to switch scent, you can readjust the intensity of each fragrance through color temperature to create a new aroma. On the other side, if you prefer a simpler type of aroma, the APP also offers a function for you to turn off some light bulbs.
Let’s be our own fragrance designers creating types of aroma and therefore, infinite joy.

Final Model
Access by the App to control brightness of each light bulb and change the intensity of fragrance diffusers.
The higher the temperature of the light bulb is (cooler color), the more diffused the fragrance is.
The lower the temperature of the light bulb is (warmer color), the less diffused the fragrance is.
