| Concept:
<moVe> is designed as an ambient light source
located on floors. The depth of the foam, used as the
diffusing material, becomes visible through the light
emitted from the inside. This gives the impression of a
solid translucent body.
Where the two ends of the
foam are joined a slot was introduced, providing a more
directional beam of light. As the foam is rotated around
the body the slot, creating a directional spot light, also
changes its position and the whole lamp gains a different
mood and function.
<moVe> can sit on the
foam as well as stand on its side. The dynamic shape was
chosen to encourage the interaction with the object. When
packed and shipped the foam will play its known role in
protecting the other parts. When the customer receives and
assembles the lamp he realizes, that the packaging,
conventionally the least valued material, becomes the most
significant component.
Future development + new
markets: Looking at the growing market of security
appliances protecting your house and belongings; objects
that deter burglars by simulating the presence of an
inhabitant will experience a greater demand.
<moVe> could be
supplied with a driving system, enabling it to change the
lighting situation within a room or whole apartment by
moving around. The changing position and direction of the
spot light would change the illumination significantly,
with the low rate of energy consumption allowing for a
rechargeable unit.
Combining the markets of
aesthetic lighting and security could open a new segment
in the field of domestic illumination.
