Aether is a lighting solution designed to bring the natural rhythm of the sun indoors. Transitioning seamlessly through six distinct light modes—dawn, day, afternoon, sunset, evening, and night—Aether mirrors the evolving light of the sky to support your natural circadian rhythm.
Where conventional lighting remains static, Aether responds to the time of day, creating a dynamic atmosphere that elevates mood, boosts focus, and helps you unwind when it matters most.
Named after the Greek word for “pure, fresh air” and “clear sky,” Aether is where nature, design, and technology converge. Crafted from slip-cast ceramic porcelain and inspired by the sun’s daily arc, it brings both aesthetic elegance and thoughtful functionality to your space—perfect for those who spend long hours at a desk but crave the calming influence of natural light.
We spend around 90% of our day indoors, and much of our exposure to artificial light is from the harsh overhead lighting we use to light up these spaces. By its nature, artificial lighting also exposes us to light at times of day when we normally would not receive light from the sun.
Artificial lighting disrupts sleep, increases stress, and harms mood. It also causes eye strain, headaches, fatigue, and reduced focus. Natural lighting on the other hand helps regulate sleep, boosts mood, improves focus and productivity and promotes emotional well-being and connection to nature.
Aether automatically adjusts to your time zone and changes colors according to the natural sunlight pattern.
