The time it takes to fall asleep is called "SOL", which stands for "Sleep Onset Latency". Studies show that the production of the sleep hormone melatonin is acutely interrupted by the short-wave light of our smartphones and devices. This is one of the reasons why many people suffer from insomnia. SOL is an interactive, meditative light object that - by pulling out the string as one would with a music box - plays an imitation of natural light colors during a sunset, which boosts the body's melatonin production and aims to contribute to a healthy sleep.SOL puts our existential connection to sunlight back in the foreground in a poetic yet intuitive way.
