Description
A lamp recreating the nostalgic curve of a childhood swing.
Context
Winner of GT's Make 10 Innovation Award.
How can novel technology speak to nostalgia? In Arch, a flexible LED filament (nOOds) dances through an acrylic parabola, recreating your favorite childhood swing. The bent sheet aluminum base, the heat-formed acrylic frame, and the minimized circuitry gather and bring a democratic sensual experience.
