stockholm-based designers humans since 1982 have created 'collection of light'. each light bulb has been categorized and organized,
framed in repurposed 70 year old insect collection drawers in order to accomplish the visual harmony and systematic arrangement
of a true series. each piece is an assembly of LED lights labeled by size, name, color and temperature.
the glass framed electrical components have been manufactured in a hand-made, limited edition series.
the body of work includes three lighting objects: a 300 LED display with 3 editions, and smaller 150 and 90 LED displays with
10 versions each.
