A lighting friend

Dou Dou, a French word which means a “close partner”, is a lighting project. It proposes a lighting which is not just for illuminating, but a light draws us to it, which gives physical and emotional warmth, and that feels like a friend. Like a stuffed animal, mom’s scarf, a towel that one places by the pillow of a child who is having trouble falling asleep at night or something that always makes both adults and children feel safe when they have it with them.
