| DESIGN NAME: Golden cuboids PRIMARY FUNCTION: Lightning INSPIRATION: The creations of Gobo Lightning are crafted in a constant concern for harmony, balance and aesthetics, derived from designer's experiences and influences; environmental studies, computer programming and chemistry. The golden ratio occupies a central position in his research, establishing beauty and the form of consistency. Designer also has a passion for modular origami, influenced by Ron Resh, which is one of the pioneers in paper folding, Origami Tessellations and 3D polyhedrons. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This design consists of three nested golden cuboids in a modular strucure which can be operated with a pulley sytem. This allows the object to have a variety of different forms. The light rays filtered by the designed structure allow to project shadows in a space with pure and varied lines. The object is composed by 3 golden cuboids and 9 equilateral triangles. This kind of geometric combination ensures perfect proportions. The fineness of the materials accentuate the product with a clean look and emphasizes its lightness and modernity. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This creation contains a strong emotional dimension. From it an atmosphere of wellbeing is emanating which is a result of designers desire for balance, ideal proportions and lightness. A design that can also boast itself by being didactic. It is possible to play with object's shape in order to decorate the space with different shadows. Similarly, choosing a warm color bulb can delete projected shadows. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: I started the project in October 2014 and I finished it in January 2015. I develop this project in Bruxelles in a fablab (openfab Bruxelles).
