Carousel (no.1) draws inspiration from the sculptural works of Isamu Noguchi and Erwin Hauer. Paper lanterns had existed long before Akari, however Noguchi brought his own language to the art form transforming lanterns into 'light sculptures'.
Erwin Hauer - known for his architectural walls and screens - deftly played with light through complex patterns and the absence of material.
Carousel (no.1) continues with these traditions - adding elements of movement, interactivity, technology and expressivity. Rotating the outer shade, subtly changes the dappled pattern, much like light sparkling through the leaves of a tree. The shade is made of traditional coldpress watercolor paper, while the base is crafted from solid maple. 2700K warm LEDs illuminate the object and are dimmable. Carousel no.1 will be a light object you will enjoy and (re)experience for years to come.
Materials: Coldpress watercolour paper, maple, LED, dimmer
