The following research focused on developing a new concept of lighting design with design factors which considered combining common natural objects with feelings. The purpose of this research is to write a thesis that deals with the whole process of developing a design for 'FEELighting' that is applicable to daily life through developing a form of lighting, which prioritizes feelings rather than materials, forms, or functions, and enhance the quality of people's lives. In particular, the process has been materialized by defining a new concept of 'FEELighting' (Feeling + Lighting), researching and analyzing the original and unfamiliar correlation between feeling and lighting, and choosing the embedded acrylics lighting items that can undergo small quantity batch production. As a result, prototypes of various forms of lightings that could be applied to daily lives -ceiling lights, wall light lamps, and table lamps-, which were made by combining numerous common natural objects and surpassed simple function and created to surpass simple lighting function, were presented through every process of design development.
