Furlable Light Fixtures

The Roll Light Begins as a Flat, Flexible Material That Curls in Your Palm

— December 13, 2013 — Art & Design
Despite how it might seem, you are not looking at a flashlight. The Roll Light is actually a rectangular illuminating material that's just 2 centimeters thick and measures 37 by 28 centimeters in length and width. This form makes the lit-up object all the more versatile, especially since it's pliable.

Designed by Professor Kim Byungsoo, Choo Sumin and Park Hyeryoung, the handheld light fixture can be laid flat on a table, pasted to the wall, hung over closet rails and slung over tree branches. Made from durable silicone with embedded LEDs, the 2013 Red Dot Design Award winning product is ideal for indoor and outdoor use. The Roll Light has a charging socket that can give it 5 hours of power, during which you can use is passively or actively as it's curled up in your hand.
Trend Themes
1. Flextech - Flexible technology allows for the creation of versatile and adaptable light fixtures, enabling new design possibilities.
2. Multi-functional Lighting - Light fixtures that can be used in various settings and mounted in different ways provide practicality and convenience for users.
3. Portable Lighting - The development of compact and rechargeable light fixtures allows for on-the-go illumination in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - The integration of furlable light fixtures in home decor offers a unique, space-saving lighting solution.
2. Architecture - Flexible and versatile light fixtures can be seamlessly incorporated into architectural designs, enhancing the visual appeal of spaces.
3. Outdoor Recreation - Portable and durable lighting options are valuable for outdoor enthusiasts, providing convenient illumination during camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
