Imagine being in a space that tailored its lighting to the type and number of people in the room at any given moment; that doesn't have to remain in the world of imagination thanks to the S1 by Thibaut Sld, a French graphic and industrial designer. Known for his human responsive creations including the [HEXI Wall](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hexi-responsive-wall) and [Veilleuse Track Light](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/veilleuse-track-light), S1 by Thibaut Sld is a continuation of this practical style.

Essentially, S1 by Thibaut Sld adjusts its brightness and height depending on in response to nearby activity and sudden movements, which are detected via built-in sensors. The [dimmable LED strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ambient-smart-lighting) are housed in a polyurethane shell and hung by power cables.
