Arboreal Light Installations

The Leafy Installation Consists Of a 1500-Leaf Canopy

— July 9, 2016 — Art & Design
Philips Lighting has decided to go ahead both its light engineering skills as well as eye for design by putting together Leafy light installation, a spectacular canopy-based project that is located in its headquarters in the Dutch city of Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

This particular light installation happens to consist of 1,500 leaf-like components that change their lighting hues and patterns throughout the day and throughout the year as well in order to be able to mimic the changing times of day and changing seasons.

The installation appears to be inspired by the manner in which light filters through tree canopies. Accordingly, it is designed to showcase gorgeous reflections and diffusions of light.

However, the greatest feature of this installation is that it is interactive, with users able to change settings manually, though it can also run automatically. It's a great example of high-tech design inspired by nature's wonders.


Trend Themes
1. Interactive Light Installations - The Leafy light installation showcases the potential for interactive lighting experiences that mimic natural phenomena.
2. Adaptive Lighting Technology - The use of leaf-like components that change lighting hues and patterns demonstrates the growing trend of adaptive lighting technology in design.
3. Nature-inspired Design - The installation's design, inspired by the way light filters through tree canopies, reflects the trend of incorporating nature-inspired elements in innovative designs.
Industry Implications
1. Lighting Design - The Leafy light installation demonstrates disruptive innovation opportunities for creating interactive and adaptive lighting solutions.
2. High-tech Design - The integration of technology and nature-inspired design in the installation suggests disruptive innovation opportunities for the high-tech design industry.
3. Environmental Design - The nature-inspired design of the installation provides disruptive innovation opportunities for the environmental design industry, incorporating elements that mimic the changing times of day and seasons.
