Series 2 – Shifting Light
The second series explores the application of the layered scattering lighting effect developed through screen studies, along with perceptual variability that was observed through sample layering. By combining these effects within a single assembly, the series investigates how layered 3D-printed components can influence both the distribution of light and the visual appearance of the fixture itself. The series consists of two prototypes of contrasting scales: a collection of miniature table lamps and a human-scale floor lamp. In both cases, layered scattering is achieved with white PETG inner shells, while translucent outer shells are printed in clear or tinted PETG. The ‘shifting’ of light emerges through the interaction between transparent outer shells and woven inner structures. As the observer moves around the fixture, the relationship between these layers changes, causing internal details of the assembly to become pronounced or concealed. The resulting luminaires produce a dynamic visual experience that extends beyond the emitted light itself.
