Open like a lightbulb used to be.

Design-led smart lamps and smart furniture, built between the prototype bench and the production line. This is the working visual identity — the foundation the website and product collateral build on.

01 — Color

Palette

The palette is the product. Warm neutrals drawn straight from the materials — bone-china white, machined aluminum, graphite — with a warm accent borrowed from the 4 W LED's glow, and teal as the cool complementary counterpoint (warm light, cool control). Color is restrained on purpose: the object and the light are the color story.

Graphite
#23221E
Primary ground. The warm dark background for everything.
Bone China
#F4F0E7
Primary text on dark. The signature material, unlit.
Lit White
#FFFFFF
Highlights and the material when illuminated.
Aluminum
#B7B7B3
Machined hardware, rules, the wordmark.
Slate
#8A887F
Secondary text, captions, spec labels.
Warm Glow
#E6A23C
The LED. Light-travel moments, primary CTAs — sparingly.
Teal
#3FB6A4
Cool complementary accent. Links, secondary CTAs, spec highlights.
Sky ·alt
#8FB2D9
Softer cool alternate, if teal feels too vivid.

02 — Typography

Type system

Three voices: Outfit — a rounded-geometric display face that's the closest cousin to the wordmark, set at a lighter weight (500) to read refined rather than chunky; Inter for clean, legible body; and IBM Plex Mono for the engineered details — specs, labels, the dot in the wordmark's world. All three are open-source and embedded (not CDN-linked) so they render identically across every browser and in-app webview.

Display · XL · 500
Light you own.
Display · H2 · 500
Designed objects, open electronics
Body · Inter
A single light module powers every product, and a magnetic diffuser bought for a lamp also fits a shelf. The system is the point.
Body · Strong
No lock-in, stated as a feature — not a footnote.
Mono · Spec
12 accent LEDs + 1 × 4 W high-power LED · WLED-compatible
Outfit
Display / Headlines · 500

Rounded geometric — the closest cousin to the wordmark. Lighter weight for a refined, designed-object feel.

Inter
Body / Interface · 400–500

Clean, neutral, highly legible at any size. The quiet workhorse behind the body copy.

IBM Plex Mono
Specs / Labels · 400–500

For numbers, specs, and technical detailing. Open-source — signals the engineering underneath.

05 — Voice

Voice & tone

Design-led, with an engineer's honesty. We let the object and the numbers speak, and we never oversell.

01 Precise, not playful

State the spec. "8 hours cordless," not "all-day freedom." Numbers earn more trust than adjectives.

02 Quiet confidence

The product is premium; the copy doesn't need to shout it. Short sentences. Room to breathe.

03 Open and honest

Name the open standard. Name the material. The openness is the pitch — say WLED out loud.

04 Ownership, not features

We sell a thing you keep and refresh — not a subscription. Frame longevity and control over novelty.
