"Form and function are both essential to me, but the emotional quality of a space is also important. Living in a beautifully designed and visually harmonious environment encourages positive emotions. Therefore, I also consider beauty a function."
- Gabriel Tan
The name "Rumee" is a playful blend of meanings, drawing from both Danish and English. Combining the Danish word "rum" (meaning space or room) with the English word "me," while also echoing the sound of "roomie" - the informal term for a roommate. This bi-lingual play on words evokes the idea of someone you share a home with, a companion that brings a sense of warmth and comfort. The portable nature of the Rumee allows you to bring the coziness of being at home to whatever room you desire. The Rumee Portable Lamp will create moments of comfort and joy whether you're reading a book to your child or enjoying a game with friends; it's always there to share in the experience, both at home or on the road.
Gabriel Tan was inspired by the wavy curves of a spacious, broad hat, Rumee has a sculptural design that evokes elements from the natural world. Designed to provide high-quality close-up light while also emitting a 360-degree soft ambient glow. The dimmable light is equipped with a diffuser, ensuring ideal glare-free illumination. Rumee is not only visually appealing but also comfortable to hold, making it easy to carry from one location to another. Asymmetry and nature's own forms are at the core of Gabriel Tan's work, a combination that helps add an emotional aspect to an otherwise functional design.
