floating lights

Picture

design and manufacturing.

Floating lights was a design and manufacturing project to practice and showcase various metal fabrication techniques.

Design

Inspired 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.

manufacturing

Floating 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.
