spilt moons

Spilt Moons is an on going design project where wood and veneer scraps are re-purposed as abstract lighting features

Spilt moons

Spilt moons is the first design outcome and prototype of the series. It consists of three separate wooden circles offset from one another with a thin veneer facing in between. A set of LED lights are concealed behind each layer, this projects a soft lighting feature upon the wall behind and illuminates the thin wooden veneer with a warm glow.

Full effect

Above is the lighting feature in full effect. The powerful LEDs project light onto the wall where it is refracted outward and upward giving the effect of a solar eclipse. The thin veneer faces glow like moons as the light tries to penetrate through it.
