laqi imagines objects that make the home more attentive to those who live in it. Our model is nature: we take inspiration from its shapes to design our objects, and from its oldest rhythm, the sun’s cycle, for their light.
Our belief is simple: the place where we live influences how we feel. Light is a part of that, from morning to night. So ours follows the day: solar upon waking and in the afternoon, it reproduces the light of a fire as the sun sets, then slowly dims before bedtime.
We pay as much attention to form as we do to function. Our lights are objects you want to look at, even when they are off: clean lines, carefully chosen materials, and technology that fades into the background. The idea is not to add technology to the home, but to make it more natural to live in.
We explain everything in our article on light that follows the sun.
