Golden A' Design Award Winner 2023
Two cylindrical wooden side tables occupy a minimalist interior space, presented as the Pac Man Side Table With Lights by Ziel Home Furnishing Technology Co., Ltd. Beginning with overall orientation, both tables feature rich brown wood with prominent horizontal grain lines suggesting smooth, warm walnut veneer that would feel satiny beneath fingertips. Each cylinder measures approximately knee-height with proportions slightly wider than tall. The defining feature of both pieces is a wedge-shaped opening carved into one side, creating a mouth-like aperture through which warm golden light glows, casting amber reflections onto the polished floor below like pooled honey. Scanning from left to right, the first table in the foreground left displays a small glass vase containing a verdant palm frond with elongated leaves radiating upward like fingers reaching toward light. This table's wedge opening faces rightward, revealing a lower shelf illuminated in rich gold tones. Moving to the right side of the composition, the second table stands against a backdrop of gray textured panels with subtle geometric divisions. This table's wedge opening faces forward, and from within, warm light illuminates a white ceramic cup and saucer resting on the upper surface, while the lower shelf visible through the aperture holds several stacked books and a small glass vessel. The floor beneath presents as polished concrete in cool gray tones that capture and reflect the warm amber light from both tables, creating glowing pools of golden reflection. The walls transition from smooth warm cream on the left to cooler gray textured panels on the right, with soft natural daylight entering from upper left creating gentle shadowing. The overall atmosphere feels serene, sophisticated, and warmly inviting, like a quiet afternoon in a thoughtfully appointed living space where design objects serve both function and contemplation.
Pac Man is a product with childhood significance. It is inspired by the classic arcade game Pac Man. The light source function is cleverly integrated into the handle shape. The greater the angle of the light as the handle goes up, the brighter the light source. The color temperature of the light source can be controlled, and the lighting function will be turned off when the handle is lowered.
