DesignInspired by Alexander Calder's kinetic mobiles, I wanted to create a light fixture that emulated the same delicate balance and suspension found in many of his sculptures.

manufacturingFloating lights was manufactured out of bent steel tubing, cut into lengths on the bandsaw and then mitered on the metal mill. The base of the lamp, which holds the electronics, was turned on a metal lathe. The bulbs were custom-designed and 3D-printed in ABS. Each housed 3-5mm white LEDs.
