Covid-19: A sterilisation lamp designed for the home

China – Frank Chou hopes the lamp will fight the spread of bacteria on everyday items such as phones, keys and wallets.

The sterilisation lamp uses an ultraviolet (UV) light, and is designed to be kept by the entrance to a user’s home, where people can place common objects such as keys. Created in response to the rapid spread of Covid-19, the product is activated as users apply pressure to the body of the lamp, concealing the items for 60 seconds as it sterilises them.

Chou hopes the ‘unconscious design’ of the lamp, created to be both functional and aesthetically pleasing, will help the product blend into the home and become part of people’s daily routines. The lamp provides an easier alternative to conscious disinfection methods.

As consumers find themselves navigating a world of uncertainty, brands are stepping in to create everyday solutions for an increasingly Dislocated World.
