Modern Ceiling Lights Dancing Like Ribbons To Match Modern Spaces

Lighting plays a vital role in setting the ambiance of a space. Interior designers understand the significance of playing around with lighting to create the desired atmosphere. In the realm of modern interior design, a lighting concept called “The Fellas” has emerged, offering clean and minimalistic solutions that complement contemporary living styles. With its unique design and innovative features, The Fellas breaks away from conventional ceiling lights, providing users with a creative and attractive lighting solution.

Designers: Wenkai Li and Dan Yu of 0-1 Design Studio

The Fellas draws inspiration from ribbons and circular forms, resulting in a visually striking design. The linear material used in this lighting concept is flexible, akin to ribbons, and mimics the motion of a ribbon being swung in a circular fashion. The resulting form is highly aesthetic and textured, featuring a suspended light source design that seamlessly blends into public spaces as both a ceiling light and a wall light.

What sets The Fellas apart is its utilization of flexible material-made light source substrates and linear light sources. This innovative approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also simulates a uniform, soft, and glare-free 360° lighting effect similar to the solar spectrum. Moreover, The Fellas prioritizes the health of its users, incorporating an anti-blue light source that effectively protects eye health. Its color rendering, which closely mimics natural light, and wide-area light distribution contribute to creating a pleasant and inviting atmosphere.

Recognizing the significant impact of lighting on ambiance, The Fellas allows users to modify their lighting according to personal preferences. The concept can be interconnected with a scene light control system, which employs artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically adjust the color temperature and lighting mode based on different living scenes. Additionally, users have the flexibility to customize the lighting settings through a dedicated mobile application. This versatility enables users to adapt the lighting to various environments and atmospheres, enhancing the artistic appeal of any space.

The Fellas is designed for convenience and adaptability. Its one-piece molding process ensures easy installation, while the body of the lighting fixture can be adjusted by 8° after assembly. This flexibility allows for seamless integration into diverse architectural settings and provides users with greater control over the lighting effects in their spaces.

Lighting is an essential element in interior design, and The Fellas offers a modern lighting concept that excels in both form and functionality. Its distinctive design inspired by ribbons and circular forms, combined with innovative lighting technology, creates a visually captivating and harmonious lighting experience. With its customizable features and adaptability, The Fellas empowers users to transform their spaces into personalized, inviting, and artful environments.

CNC-milled porcelain vases fit together like a three-dimensional puzzle

Ceramic Bodies is a collection of four porcelain vases that fit together like a three-dimensional puzzle.

Designer Jörg Hugo studied architecture before opening his own design studio. Calling it Studio Jörg Hugo, his work largely explores “the relationship between materiality, form, and space,” as he describes on his personal website. Relying on either digital or analog design methods and production techniques, Hugo creates timeless pieces that completely reinterpret how we interact with space and material. One of his most recent projects, Ceramic Bodies, comprises a collection of four porcelain vases that almost appear to melt into each other like a three-dimensional puzzle.

Designer: Jörg Hugo

Each vase that’s included in Ceramic Bodies is deformed by design. Dotted with imprints and depressions, the deformed shape of each vase is a type of stabilizing technique called geometric optimization, which finds the most suitable configuration for an object to minimize its overall structural mass and energy. Fitting together like twin pieces, the plaster molds for each vase were CNC-milled from gypsum blocks to ensure accurate sizing and streamline the production process.

Before production, “All porcelain bodies were 3D-scanned, re-topologized and modified,” Hugo explains, “making it possible to change scale, adapt shrinking factors and optimize the stability of each porcelain body in a short period of time.” In order to ensure the vases were stabilized when they came together, Hugo altered the outer surface when necessary. While handcrafted ceramics is a timeless art, through Ceramic Bodies, Hugo found a digital way to save time while making art that looks handcrafted.

Starting with gypsum blocks, Hugo reconfigured the outer surface of each vase so that they would fit into one another. 

Hugo carefully shaped each vase so that they could form one unit. 

The vases could stand alone as an art piece or work as individual vases for flowers.
