Floating Aquatic-Inspired Lighting

The Manta Rhei Lighting Designs are Original and Sophisticated

— March 6, 2014 — Art & Design
Creating lighting designs that mimic the flow of what a manta ray looks like as it swims through the water, the new Manta Rhei lights from Selux are original and unique looking.

Such lighting designs are bound to add a whole lot of style and sleekness to a room instantly; the OLED-based luminaire is designed in a way to constantly change its appearance.

Designed by Selux in collaboration with ART+COM, this transformative lighting design is both aesthetically appealing and vibrantly practical. The delicately futuristic design gives the illusion that the lights are floating, which makes this design sophisticated and stunning.

“The body incorporating 140 ultra-thin Tridonic OLED modules is able to combine individual lighting scenarios and movement sequences to form a unit. Among other things, the luminaire simulates the gentle movement of a manta ray” says the design team behind Manra Rhei.
