toshiba and suppose design office at milan design week 2010
'luceste' - toshiba LED lighting
image © designboom
'luceste' = luce (light) + celeste (of sky) was an installation created with toshiba LED lighting
by japanese architect makoto tanijiri of suppose design office, on display during milan design week 2010.
the installation explored the beauty of light itself.
a ceiling-mounted LED installation diffuses lighting through a veil of swirling mist (clouds)
to suffuse the exhibition space with a spectrum of growing color.
visitors got to experience toshiba's lighting and are challenged to, .
.. perhaps change their preconceived conceptions of LEDs.
visitors engaged in this interactive installation: by whistling clouds moved, by clapping hands
the color of light changed.
visitors were surrounded by gentle light once they entered the space, in which colors continually changed as clouds moved over the ceiling
