Blossoming Light

Blossoming Light is an outdoor lighting installation shaped like a giant flower. The structure is 7 meters high and 4 meters in diameter. Square stainless steel tubes form 88 triangular sections joined by more than 440 welded joints. The surface carries nearly 60,000 LED light points, allowing video to be shown across a full 360 degree view. Computer timing and a light sensor adjust the lights to natural and environmental conditions. The colors change slowly to suggest the passing of the four seasons. Six groups of metal flower decorations hold artificial flower arrangements.

The Porthole

The Porthole is a wall light inspired by the window of an airplane cabin. The light is controlled by sliding the shade panel upward. The lamp grows brighter as the shade opens, and reaches full brightness when the panel is completely open. The familiar form makes the operation easy to understand without instruction. The LED panel is coated with sodium peroxide nanoparticles that scatter light and separate different wavelengths, giving an effect similar to sunlight passing through the atmosphere. The wall light measures 225 by 300 by 55 millimetres.

Float

Float is a table lamp based on the concept of slow design. The lamp uses magnetic levitation technology, so a small float turns above the base without touching it. The user switches the light on by spinning the float, and the light goes off when the rotation stops. The direction of rotation selects warm or cool light. Float is made of polypropylene, aluminum and white oak, and is produced in three sizes. The calm and steady motion is intended to help users slow down and concentrate while studying.

Lighten

Lighten is a floor lamp inspired by the Chinese character for light, whose form originates in the image of gathered torches. Indirect lighting creates a soft atmosphere in many settings. The lamp is made of wood and frosted glass, produced with CNC machining and mechanical sandblasting. LED modules are embedded in the wood, and the wood surface is polished and waxed to keep its natural grain. All parts are modular and joined by tenon and mortise, so assembly needs no screws. A foot switch at the base turns on one, two or three lamp posts to adjust brightness.

Unvisible Landscapes

Unvisible Landscapes is a series of lamps based on three dimensional fractals. The forms recall urban landscapes and are generated in fractal modelling software. Displacement maps are applied to the surfaces in three dimensional modelling software, and the resulting shapes are printed with PLA filament. Each printed object is fitted with LED strips and a power supply, so the fractal is presented in the form of light. The series makes mathematical structures visible in physical space and brings them into the field of art and design.

Rembrandt Pro

Rembrandt Pro is an adjustable ceiling light designed for precise lighting control. The lighting angle can be set in the horizontal and vertical directions without removing the fixture from the ceiling. An original gear structure and an expansion screw keep the adjustment smooth and stable. Inspired by the focusing principle of a camera, a zoom lens changes the distance between the lens and the light source to give beam angles of 17, 25 and 36 degrees. Anti-glare elements provide a glare free angle of 56 degrees. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi control allow simple tuning of the light.

Mobius

This reconfigurable lamp is an applied design result of Nhi Ton's research and studies on the mountain and valley origami folds which suggest motion, structure, and flexibility. With the structure, it allows users to interact and transform the shape to fit into their environment and desire. The lampshade furthermore takes on the specific form of the Moebius Strip in which top and bottom surfaces are made continuous through the simple expedient of a twist in space as the artistic representation of the conscious and unconscious dimensions of our human experience.

The Heart Of Siberia

The Heart of Siberia is a permanent light and sound show in the center of Krasnoyarsk, Russia. The show links a 540 meter pedestrian bridge, a museum center and a concert hall into one dynamic lighting system. The system uses more than 15,000 controlled pixels, 2,000 linear lamps and two LED media facades, managed by custom automation cabinets. Scenarios start automatically on a schedule and can also be changed remotely. Nine chapters use color to recall the Yenisei river, the taiga and other regional symbols. The installation withstands temperatures down to minus 40 degrees Celsius.
