Lamb Interactive playful lamp is an innovative therapeutic design intervention that combines interactive product design with addiction counseling services, specifically targeting the challenge of excessive mobile phone use among adolescents. This sophisticated lighting system, designed by Brian Lee and Benny Leong, integrates family functioning theory and gamification principles to create a unique platform for enhancing parent-adolescent relationships through structured play activities. The design comprises four primary components: a table with integrated mobile charging capabilities, an interactive lamp featuring LED display and motion sensors, a comprehensive game card book containing competitive physical and intellectual challenges, and a gaming record book with operational instructions. The lamp's intelligent system activates when family members place their mobile devices on the charging platform, displaying a welcoming expression and randomly suggesting games through its LED interface. This thoughtfully engineered solution measures 520mm x 400mm x 1030mm and operates on 220-240V power supply, providing 3x5W inductive charging capability and up to 13W light output. The design's innovative approach to addiction prevention earned recognition with a Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures Design category, acknowledging its unique contribution to both therapeutic practice and product design. The project represents a groundbreaking intersection of multidisciplinary expertise, combining elements of interactive design, family therapy, and gamification to address a contemporary social challenge, while its physical implementation encourages meaningful family interactions and helps revive positive familial relationships that may have been impacted by excessive mobile device usage.
