Luum - Light Installation
Contemporary lighting studio Luum will launch their stunning new collection, Flame, in a dramatic twenty-metre installation hanging from the main stairwell. Softly glowing 'flames' are captured within delicate glass bubbles and appear to float away from their cable tethers. Described as contemporary and poetic in their design approach, Luum combine sculpture and light, playfully transforming the surrounding environment.
Haberdashery - Light Sculpture
London-based design consultancy, Haberdashery will show DISCODISCO – an impressive sound responsive light sculpture. The 21st century disco ball, sends dynamic patterns of light shimmering across the surrounding wall, floor and ceiling surfaces. Currently in prototype form, this custom artwork is being developed into a fully-fledged modular and scalable lighting solution. See it first at #designjunction2015!
