Challenged to create a light which prior to assembly, would fit into an A4 sized envelope. Desired to create a light which gave the user the ability to change the lighting conditions and patterns; a light that transforms.
A repeating curved form that rotates on a pivot was used to imitate the motion of a transforming wave.
assembly close-up; showing varying light openings The configuration is set up to be symmetrical and easily fabricated using pre-cut wood dowels and a slotting system. the final result has several configurations which create different shadow effects.
