On June 9, 2026, the 31st Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition (Guangya Exhibition) was crowded with people at Yingqu Intelligent Booth. Under the spotlight, a whole-house smart panel called "Lyon Series" was revealed for the first time-the real crystal material refracts the flowing light and shadow in the light. The lettering-free panel is like a silent mirror, while the small and movable "Lyon Crystal Panel" is quietly waiting for the touch of your fingertips.
This is the third art panel series created by TOALL convex and concave design for Yingqu Intelligence after Hera series and Beethoven series. From music to crystal, from wall to desktop, a design narrative line about "how to make technology have artistic temperature" is being continued.
Project Background
From "Wisdom" to "Healing": An Inquiry about Artistic Intelligence
Yingqu Intelligent has been deeply cultivated in the whole house intelligent track for many years, and the product matrix named after the Swiss city has gradually built up the brand image of "science and technology whole house artist.

However, an industry proposition is always up in the air: smart home panel, can not just cold technology contact?

At the key node of the evolution of the whole-house intelligent track from "single-product intelligence" to "full-scene active intelligence", Yingqu Intelligent has accurate insight into: high-end users who pursue quality and art are no longer satisfied with the "functional stacking" of the panel ". They hope to reflect taste in the details of the home, and pay equal attention to intelligence and aesthetics-the panel is not only the entrance to control, but also the artistic expression of the space.

With this proposition, Yingqu Intelligence once again found an old friend-TOALL Convex and Concave Design. Previously, the Hera series of cooperation between the two sides made its debut in position C of the 2024 Guangya Exhibition with the innovative interaction of knobs and touches. The Beethoven series was inspired by "Moonlight Sonata", which solidified the rhythm of music on the panel curve, and won many international awards such as the 2025 Aladdin Lantern Award "Digital Intelligence Product Award" and the 2026 Milan Design Award Gold Award.

This time the proposition is more difficult: how to make the panel have the texture suitable for the mansion, while maintaining the intelligent precision and interactive nature? How to build a new interactive paradigm between the "static" of the wall and the "dynamic" of the desktop?

Market research
Deep into high-end housing: the conceptual direction of design research findings
Convex and concave design team is well aware that the starting point of design is not drawing, but understanding. First of all, they studied in depth the representative works of the world's top interior designers, how to interpret contemporary space with oriental artistic conception, how to find eternal comfort in de-stylizing, and how to integrate Zen and simplicity. And how to tell the story of space with bold material collision......

More important is the user. The team will focus on two core groups of people.

After in-depth research on the world's high-end residential, the team combed out several design directions. The Lyon series, it is the evaluation and communication in the interest of intelligent preference "gilt" and "hidden luxury" between found a unique balance:

Gold to perfection: precious metals, crystals, precious stones, rare wood, texture conflict mix and match luxury, exquisite modeling proportion and customized scarcity. Invisible luxury to the environment: highly restrained expression, inadvertently feel the quality and taste, through the material texture difference to express the sense of static luxury, no obvious logo, luxury through the material dark lines and original texture transmission.

Crystal-this both "to achieve" and "to the environment" of the dual temperament of the material, has become the Lyon series of the core image. It not only has dazzling luster and refraction, but also has introverted transparency and silence. Just like the city of Lyon: the cultural center of France, it has both classical solemnity and contemporary elegance.

Design Concept

Light and Shadow as Soul, Crystal as Bone: Design Philosophy of Lyon Series
"When the invisible music has a shape" is the narrative origin of the Beethoven series; and in the Lyon series, the chief designer of the convex and concave design Lian Zhen put forward a more essential question: "When the invisible light has a touch, what kind of form will the intelligence present? 」

Crystal, in human civilization has always been the container of light. From the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles to the cutting art of contemporary jewelry, the relationship between crystal and light has never been exhausted. Convex and concave design team decided: no longer let the panel "reflect" light, but let the panel "become" part of the light-the crystal material into the whole house smart panel, so that every interaction is accompanied by the flow of light and shadow.

Lyon series of philosophical framework: "light" is the soul, "crystal" is the carrier, "free lettering" is restraint, "solitary stone" is luxury. The panel on the wall is like a silent crystal mirror, and on the table is a beam of light that can be picked up.

In the design language of the Lyon series, the convex and concave design team continued the core concept of the previous Beethoven series-the complete combination of artistic form and technology, but achieved a double transition in the dimensions of material and interaction: from "the shape of music" to "the touch of light and shadow", from "art on the wall" to "art in the hand".

Design Innovation

Four innovative breakthroughs: from the material to the interactive comprehensive innovation

01

Crystal material into the panel: light and touch the first handshake
In the smart home industry, panel materials have long been dominated by plastic, metal and glass. For the first time, the convex-concave design introduces crystal material into the intelligent panel of the whole house. This is not a simple "skin change", but a redefinition of the relationship between light and touch. The refractive index of crystal is much higher than that of ordinary glass. Under the reflection of ambient light, the surface of the panel will show a flowing and unrepeatable light and shadow change-every time you walk by the panel, the light and shadow are different due to your different angles. At the same time, the touch of the crystal is warm and delicate, in sharp contrast to the cold metal, which truly realizes that "every interaction is a double enjoyment of vision and touch".

02

No lettering panel: the ultimate restraint is the ultimate elegance
Traditional panels rely on lettering to identify key functions-"on", "off", "scene" and other words, is the product of "function-oriented" thinking. The Lyon series boldly adopts the design of free lettering, which is not a simple "deletion", but an upgrade of design philosophy. In the design direction of "hidden luxury to the environment", the team believes that the real high-end is not to tell you "what is this" with words, but to let users naturally "perceive" how to operate through the guidance of light and shadow and the metaphor of backlight. People come to the backlight automatically light up, people go out, backlight can be customized adjustment, can also adapt to the environment-technology stealth, experience dominant, this is from "passive intelligence" to "active intelligence" advanced.

03

Lyon Smart Island: From the wall to the hand, the panel's "Emancipation Proclamation"
This is the most revolutionary innovation of the Lyon series. The traditional smart panel is fixed on the wall, and the user must "walk to the panel" to control it. However, Lyon Smart Island "liberated" the panel from the wall: small and movable, with four keys to control light, curtain, temperature and scene-placed at the head of the bed is the sleep housekeeper, placed at the tea table is the guest assistant, and placed in the study is the focus partner. It is inspired by Yingqu Intelligent's previous smart ring and desktop bracket, but Lyon Smart Island goes further: on the basis of mobility, it incorporates the visual language of crystal material, making it a desktop artwork that can be picked up and placed at will. The base is made of natural stone, and each base is an isolated product-the natural texture cannot be copied, giving each smart island a unique identity.

04
Natural stone base: solitary philosophy and sustainable luxury
In the gold-plated design direction, the convex-concave design team places special emphasis on "scarcity" and "time precipitation". The stone base of each Lyon Smart Island selects natural raw stones to retain their natural texture, color and touch. This means that there are no two identical smart islands in the world-each is an isolated product completed by nature and man. This is in line with the rock atmosphere lamp previously launched by Yingqu Intelligence: selecting hundreds of millions of years of natural rock, unique artistic luxury stone. From "luxury of mass production" to "luxury of solitary products", this design choice represents an important change in the aesthetic paradigm in the field of high-end smart home.

Design landing

From Concept to Starter: The Road to the Landing of the Lyon Series

From the design concept to the first show of Guangya exhibition, the landing process of Lyon series is a full link practice of "strategy consulting and design innovation scheme landing. As another verification of the whole service mode of convex and concave design, the team is faced with the dual challenges of material and process in every link. With "the touch of light and shadow" as the core concept, the team launched multiple rounds of program exploration around the crystal material. The proposal of the engraving-free panel has gone through repeated deliberation-how to ensure the intuiteness of interaction after canceling the text mark? The answer is: speak with light. The brightness, color, and breathing rhythm of the backlight have become a more elegant "interactive language" than text ".
If Hera series is Yingqu intelligence's answer to "how beautiful the panel can be" and Beethoven series is the question of "how tangible art can be", then Lyon series is the response of "intelligence can have more temperature.

From knobs to curves, from metal to crystal, from walls to hands. The multiple collaborations between convex and concave design and Yingqu intelligence constitute a clear path of design evolution: function → form → senses. Every evolution brings technology one step closer to art and intelligence one step closer to people.

The Lyon series was first introduced at the 31st Guangzhou International Lighting Exhibition. The crystal panel reflects the flowing light and shadow under the light of the exhibition hall, and the smart island is picked up, put down and picked up again by the audience. The lettering-free panel has triggered a discussion in the industry about whether the panel still needs text. More than 10,000 people visited the Yingqu Smart Booth, and more than 40 KOL visited the exhibition on site. The Lyon series became one of the most eye-catching new smart home products at this Guangya Exhibition.
