A thirty-minute sunrise, in glass · scroll to watch
A screen-free bedside lamp that ends the day with a sunset and begins it with a thirty-minute sunrise. No display. No buzzer. Just light, the way mornings were always meant to arrive.
Noctis begins glowing half an hour before your wake time — a deep ember at first, warming through amber to a soft 4300K daylight. By the time the chime sounds, the room is already bright.
One knurled brass ring is the only control — twist it to set your wake time, press it to dim. There is nothing to read, nothing to tap through, nothing to charge an opinion about at 6 a.m.
A 140 mm globe of hand-blown opal borosilicate that scatters light evenly — no hotspots, no glare.
A turned base of solid, responsibly-sourced walnut that warms in tone as it ages with you.
A single knurled brass ring. Twist to set, press to dim. It patinas; it never needs an update.
A struck brass tone instead of a buzzer — a sound you can wake to without flinching.
Five small decisions that disappear into the routine — so the lamp itself becomes invisible, and only the morning remains.
We made Noctis because we were tired of being startled awake by rectangles. There is enough screen in a day; there should be none in the last and first ten minutes of it. So we built a sunrise you can keep on your nightstand — and asked it to do nothing else.— The studio · Studio note 01 · Spring 2026
