Fluorescent Corals Light

This experiment is a continuation of the surface deformation with plywood sheets. It goes beyond the previous ambition of achieving geometries with square outlines. Here, the individual component becomes part of a larger structure with the potential of varying agglomerations. The base geometry is not limited to rectangles, but is rather subdivided with a Voronoi pattern. The conical shapes have higher inclination angles with more spatial depth. Each cone is mirrored to establish a deep structure with three control planes: the surface planes on each side, where the components are connected to their neighbours, and the centre plane, where the cones are joined with their mirrored components.

The fabrication (construction) is the result of a more intricate process of cutting, deformation and stitching. The black thread contrasts the white cardboard and resembles the appearance of black ink drawings on a three-dimensional surface. It ventures into the realm of textile work with a very literal exploration of its intrinsic qualities through the process of stitching. The tectonic expression is hence an equally direct revelation of the structural and construction logics at work: geometric deformation, the bent sheets, the stitching pattern and the threads taking over the tension loads are all displayed in the most transparent way.
