designer's own words:

trees add value to our immediate environment/surroundings. they convey tremendous aesthetic value, uplift and soothe our mood. this project undertakes the development of an artistic form of LED light fixture that departs from the traditional fixture types ; spotlights, recess lights, down lights, flood lights and so on.
artreeficial immortalizes trees within contemporary dwellings/settings – through the development of a modern luminaire. the project builds on ledstrips’ unique flexible and continuous properties. square hollow branchlets (moulded in polypropylene) which encapsulate ledstrips of different colors and capacity, form both the light fixture and light diffuser.
artreeficial, a versatile ‘ambilight’, allows interaction in several ways. LED lights can be adjusted and controlled at will to create the desired ambience. the nine LED branchlets may be arranged in countless permutations and combinations. light can be shared by moving detachable LED branchlets of the luminaire to remote fixtures set around and outside the house. one of the branchlets boasts a portable bluetooth speaker, while another one integrates a LED torch light.
the concept demonstrates how good design can produce artistic and lively replica of natural elements.
