Student project

Zorza

Zorza is a solar-powered night light designed for window mounting. Made of thin porcelain that allows light to diffuse softly, it harmonizes with the natural rhythm of the day-charging during the day and illuminating spaces at night. Its soft glow creates a warm ambience that encourages a slower, more mindful pace of life. The development process involved extensive experimentation with porcelain to achieve the ideal lighting effect, as well as the creation of a secure mounting system for attaching the lamp to glass. Future plans include expanding the project to include different sizes, shapes and colors.
