Work #5: Cells of light: mood lamp


Nature is often considered to be random designs and patterns but it can actually be modeled and generated with a mathematic model. We may observe this in the voronoi diagram, which is a decomposition of a given space.

DESIGN CONCEPT

Inspired by voronoi that originates in the building block of life commonly called cells, I tried to emulate them thru my design. Cells are the basic structural and functional unit of all living organisms, the light will escape from one lighting source to create a controlled chaos. The game played by the light and the shadow gives naturalness, character and pleasant light where required, creating a feeling mood of relaxation. Allowing the user to feel as if he was really close to nature since the shape of the shade is derived from the living matter.
