This product inhabits the intersection of nature & technology.
According to tord boontje, ‘although i started by looking very closely at flowers, it became a project from memory, to imagine shapes which are like flowers but not exactly, a new kind of species – a flower & light hybrid.’
The contoured openings, fine details, & matte silver surface of the future flora lights all conspire to illuminate space by casting poignant radiance.
The lights are packaged flat and assembled by connecting the intricate metal sheets that make up each design.
