The Race of Lights has been designed by Davide Groppi as a toy-like illuminator that takes a whimsical albeit decidedly modern approach to wall-style lighting. The light fixture is built with a modular ethos that uses a series of electrified track components to be interconnected together to achieve a raceway appearance. The track will accommodate tiny car-shaped LED units that can be custom-positioned in place to offer a light cast that matches any kind of mood or aesthetic.
The Race of Lights illuminator can be oriented as a statement piece or a more subtle fixture to work seamlessly within living spaces of all kinds. The unit also embraces a playful profile as a nod to the need for more flexibility and freedom in design.
