Islet

Islet is an applique with a minimal shape but a peculiar poetic lighting effect.‎Its surface is animated by the light rays escaping from the slits on the front of its structure.‎Lots of tiny holes across the sheet metal fold let light through.‎ This is reflected on the small wings produced by the folded material.‎The surfaces multiply reflexes and diffuse light.‎ This results into a varying perception according to the view point, with the concealed or framed perforated area brightened up by the opal glass that hides the LED sources from sight.‎Opal glass also closes the top and bottom for better light diffusion without glaring.‎’The idea came when I looked subway air vents in New York City.‎I want to design lamp which combine manufacturing technology of air vents with emotive pattern.‎ Result is wall light where you can see minimalist landscape with distant islet is reflected in the surface of the water’.‎
