Flashlight — 3 weeks Research Probe Invited by Apple’s ID team, I explored the flashlight as a technical unit: a simple object that can adapt to multiple contexts through design. Starting from the telescopic gesture that adjusts the beam, I reinterpreted it to unlock three core modes: Torch, Night Light, and Lantern. From there, I developed a family of add-ons that transform the flashlight into a versatile ecosystem—shifting it from emergency tool to domestic light, from portable to scenographic product.
“We want you to design a flashlight with multiple use cases. We’re looking for details that optimize the use cases you’re designing for. You can communicate your ideas through sketches, renders and 3d modeling — no physical models are expected.”
A semi-transparent spring tube with a colored filter, magnetically attached to the flashlight. It diffuses the beam into a soft lantern-like glow — ideal for creating ambient light, sharing moments outdoors, or linking multiple lamps together to form a light chain.
An attachment that channels the flashlight beam into a fiber-optic wire, creating a delicate light line.
A charging base that transforms the flashlight into a soft bedside lamp. It diffuses light downward to avoid glare, keeps the flashlight always charged and within reach.
Wall Lamp & Mirror
A decorative wall fixture that doubles as a mirror and ambient light. The flashlight docks magnetically into the lamp, serving as a wall light when stationary — and detaching easily when a torch is needed.
