Aember Light

Aember brings SAGA’s work with circadian lighting in space into the home. Drawing on the lighting concept tested aboard the International Space Station, the lamp brings the changing colours of natural light into everyday life on Earth.

From Space to Earth

Andreas Mogensen tested SAGA’s Circadian Light in his sleeping cabin aboard the International Space Station. The light simulated sunrises, changing daylight and sunsets in an environment far removed from a natural day on Earth. Aember draws on that work to bring a daily light rhythm into the home.

A Daily Rhythm

Aember brings the changing colours of the sky indoors. An app allows the light’s schedule to follow work hours and changes in time zone, adapting the daily rhythm of light to the person using it.

Printing the Shape of Light

The lamp’s optics are 3D printed using Formlabs technology. They act like a funnel, directing light towards one person while limiting spill onto a partner lying beside them in bed.
