A smart lamp to bring wellness and sunlight indoors

Meet the Vita D Table lamp by NatureLight: a smart wellness device that helps your skin safely synthesise vitamin D, thanks to controlled UV light. Rethinking what lighting design can be, starting with health.

Between office hours, screen time, and transit routines, it’s easy to forget how little sunlight we actually get. However, UV light plays a fundamental role in helping our bodies produce vitamin D, a compound which supports everything from bones to the immune system. But what if we could get sufficient UV exposure while still living our lives indoors? The Vita D Table lamp by NatureLight offers an interesting solution.

The lamp uses a patented technology by NatureLight, which allows it to recreate the beneficial effects of sunlight therapy. The technology is designed to stimulate the skin’s natural production of vitamin D in a controlled and safe way, ensuring effective exposure without the risk of overdose, thanks to biological self-regulation during the synthesis process. Vita D provides a practical and reliable solution for maintaining healthy levels of vitamin D all year round, for a better quality of life.

Vitamin D is essential for our health, supporting calcium absorption, strengthening bones, and boosting the immune system to prevent various diseases. In 2025, many people are living most of their lives indoors, causing a lack of this compound. According to a study published in Age and Ageing by Opinder Sahota, at least 1 billion people worldwide suffer from vitamin D deficiency. Although natural sunlight will always be the best solution, the Vita D Table lamp presents a great opportunity as a device that can be kept at home or in office spaces to help us maintain our health.

The Vita D Table lamp is designed by Serena Vinciguerra, who has chosen to combine technological functionality with aesthetics and sustainability. The product is made of natural materials like cork and bio-based eco-plastic, caring for the planet’s wellbeing. The lamp is available in six colourings, warm and neutral shades that can easily adapt to every space.

The user experience is fairly simple; just a few hours of direct exposure to the light on the skin are sufficient for a healthy daily production of vitamin D. The lamp is integrated with motion sensors, allowing it to switch off when nobody is in the room, saving energy. The product also features a dedicated app, which provides detailed data on your personal production and usage.

As our lifestyles continue to pull us further indoors, the need for intelligent, health-oriented design becomes more pressing. The Vita D Table lamp steps into this gap, as a thoughtful companion to modern life. It merges scientific innovation, sustainable materials, and user-friendly design to offer a functional response to a widespread deficiency. While nothing will ever quite match the complexity of sunlight, products like Vita D hint at a future where wellbeing is designed into our environments, embedded into the objects we live with everyday.
