Washingtoner/10264789

NEW YORK - Washingtoner -- Buddy Design Inc. (DBA Buddy) is excited to announce the pre-order campaign for its portable table lamp collection that doubles as wellness companions on its e-commerce website. Chevy Chanpaiboonrat, founder and CEO of Buddy, a recent honors graduate from Parsons School of Design and an award-winning industrial designer, brings her mission to life by improving daily wellness through design. Buddy offers playful, portable lights that integrate wellness and empathy, providing emotional comfort and enhancing living spaces with customizable gradient light designs. Early pre-orders will receive exclusive discounts of up to 23% off the predicted retail price.

Ambient lighting significantly impacts mood and stress levels. Many people find it difficult to create spaces that are both relaxing and emotionally comforting. The Buddy collection emerged from the need for playful and empathetic lighting solutions that improve living spaces and contribute to mental wellness. "Meet Teddy, Puppy, and Arvin, your new best friends who are more than just lamps." Each Buddy offers the same exceptional functionality, with unique appearances to match the user's mood and personality. Equipped with an interactive key, users can twist to choose their preferred light color, adjust brightness levels, and turn the lamps on/off all from a single touchpoint.
