Modak is a unique lamp that brings the warmth and charm of a campfire into your home. Instead of a traditional dimmer switch, you control the brightness by adding or removing small wooden logs. The more logs you place, the brighter the light becomes—just like tending to a real fire.
Crafted from traditional Korean Hanji paper, the lamp emits a soft, flickering glow that mimics the behavior of real flames. Its form is inspired by logs leaning together in a fire pit, and the internal LEDs subtly shift in color and intensity, even creating spark-like effects.
Modak was designed to recreate the comforting ritual of gathering around a fire. It invites users to interact playfully with light while evoking a deep, emotional connection to warmth, memory, and togetherness. More than a lamp, it’s an experience—a small piece of magic for everyday life.
