Rubik's Bulb

/ その他
LED Light Fitting submission to the Loftwork "New Lightbulb Design" Competition.
CONCEPT
The nature of LED lights allows users to be able to touch the light bulb and not get burnt, this opens up more design opportunities and interactions. The main concept of the "Rubik's Bulb" is to allow users to be able to interact and choose what lighting conditions they want for certain activities. The unique design to control lighting conditions is achieved through the "Rubik's Bulb".
DESIGN
The concept of the "Rubik's Bulb" was originally inspired by the " Nakagin Capsule Tower" which was an innovative architectural design because of its flexibility. The idea was transformed into the form of a Rubik's cube, with the ability to remove each piece and stack on other pieces thus controlling lighting conditions. The "Rubik's Bulb" is interactive but also retains its aesthetics through the clear transparent core which emits light. The combination of Nakagin Capsule Tower's flexibility and Rubik's Cube algorithms create the current form of the "Rubik's Bulb".
USAGES
The "Rubik's Bulb" is suitable in all sorts of environments because of its malleability. Lighting control really comes in handy when reading books or using indirect downward lights to create soothing environments.
MATERIALS
Using the 3D printing technology provided by Loftworks, the central core will be made of Clear Acrylic incasing the LED light bulb (E-17 base). The outer fitting pieces will be printed in Creamy White Acrylic to block light from escaping the center. This creates distinctive usages for these 2 materials!
Thanks a lot for creating this free design competition!
