The Ledwork lamps do a compelling job of demonstrating that light does so much more that illuminate our environment. The project presents a collection of lights that respond to each other and to people around them, and they change their optical states to acknowledge such interactions.
Created by Thomas Van Oekelen, Teun Verkerk, Tom Goijer and Cees-Willem Hofstede, the Ledwork series comprises modular devices that can be linked together by embedded magnets to take a variety of complex and intriguing forms. When joined up, the clusters of individual lamps keep their hues emitted in sync. The Ledwork units also respond to touch and movement as factors that influence the transitions of their colors and the rhythms at which they change. Light is more than a tool with Ledwork, it is an experience.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Modular Lighting Systems
- The Ledwork series demonstrates the potential for modular lighting systems that can be linked together to create complex and intriguing forms.
- Interactive Lighting
- The Ledwork lamps illustrate the potential for interactive lighting systems that respond to touch, movement, and other factors to create unique optical states and experiences.
- Synchronized Lighting
- The Ledwork series showcases the potential for synchronized lighting that keeps hues emitted in sync when clusters of individual lamps are joined together.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Interior Design
- The Ledwork lamps offer disruptive innovation opportunities for interior designers looking to create unique, interactive lighting installations.
- Event Production
- The Ledwork series presents an opportunity for event production companies to create visually stunning and interactive lighting displays that respond to touch and movement.
- Architecture
- The Ledwork lamps showcase the potential for architects to incorporate modular and synchronized lighting systems into building designs for a unique and dynamic lighting experience.
