simon brünner head and founded of neuesLicht and creative director of labme has collaborated with osram to present ‘supernova’ a three dimensional light installation featuring organic light-emittting diode (OLED) lights. at the recent qubique 2011 design fair in berlin, over 1362 light modules were assembled at the tempelhof airport within a 12m x 12m surface area being the largest display of its kind. the slender 2mm thick OLED glass elements were arranged in a 6 meter high cubic structure.

rods which support the luminaires grow from the exterior cube to form a sphere at its inner core creating an architectural perspective and sensory environment making visitors doubt their own perception through the simple geometric arrangement of materials. the OLEDs emit a warm light consuming little energy and were controlled by an ipad interface showcasing the future of lighting technology and modern design.
