light & light

The light of the sun and the artificial light after the sunset – different as they are, both of them make your rooms bright. Reflecting on the former being taken for granted, I produced a lighting fixture to install on my window.
Though it is not quite an ingenious invention I tried to reestimate a conventional blind to find out new value in it.
In the morning and during the daytime my product receives the warmth of the sun and spreads its soft light through the room. All you have to do is to pull it down just as you will do with the blind. Even after the sunset you could feel something of the warmth pervading your room.
How should we use the limited resource of earth? What should we do to leave as much of it as possible for generations to come? Here is my answer – the essence of ‘light and light’, which will lead people to feel happy with light and thankful for light.
