Light Form: Gorgeous Wood Wall Panels Flip Up to Reveal Light Inhabitat - Green Design Will Save the World: "Even the most basic origami figures prove that a few simple folds can result in an intricate and captivating sculptural design. Expanding upon the concept behind this Japanese art, designers Francesca Rogers and Daniele Gualeni Design Studio have created “Light Form” – a beautiful modular lighting system consisting of wood panels that can be flipped back to expose energy-efficient electroluminescent lights. The system can be easily affixed to any wall, creating a luminous mosaic that balances modern design with with a grand nod to traditional Japanese art.

A structure of warm and soft light enclosed within dual-toned wood, Light Form allows the user to create a desired lighting pattern by manipulating folding tiles embedded in each modular panel. Encased in rich dark European maple, each module either holds either a light made of electroluminescent film or a bare white surface that increases available light through reflection.
Light-Form has been designed for ILIDE – Italian Light Design and is on display from April 14-19 at the Word Join Center, as part of this year’s Milan Furniture Fair.

Art of Scale: Full-Size Designs of Small-Space Structures « Dornob

Art of Scale: 7 Full-Size Designs of Small-Space Structures « Dornob: "1:1 is a museum art installation series aimed at full-scale building experience of traversable spaces that still have the experimental and conceptual properties of miniature models.

Instead of staring at small model-sized pieces behind glass – accompanied by detailed drawings at a likewise smaller scale – visitors are encouraged to walk through, touch and otherwise interact with each work. Videos placed by each installation tell the story of their design and construction process as well.

Of nineteen architects invited to submit proposals, seven of these strange and unique mini-habitats were built for this exhibit – some set between staircases or in multi-floor interior spaces, while others that could weather were placed in outdoor courtyard and entry areas.

Patchwork old and new

Patchwork Orange: Art of Fixing Buildings with LEGO Blocks « Dornob: "A missing brick here and chipped stone there show the normal marks of wear and tear on the structures and streets of a city, but filling them in with multi-colored LEGO bricks makes them stand out in sharp relief with their surroundings – especially in a place like Berlin.
Titled ‘Dispatchwork’ (a linguistic play on ‘dispatching’ and ‘patching’ the holes), this is part urban art installation, part historical highlighting (since many of the gaps date back to World War II) and part method of calling attention to buildings that could use some help.
Jan Vormann has been toying with LEGO pieces for a long time in various artistic capacities – as well as infilling structural holes with mirrors and other attention-getting materials.
It may look haphazard at first, but there is an art to the process: identifying gaps is naturally subjective, and filling them in is both a creative and crafty act that can involve turning corners and working with existing structural details.

He started this project himself but (surprise!) many people stopped and signed themselves up to lend a hand when they saw what he was doing, grasping handfuls of LEGOs to help fill building voids and remodel life-sized brick-less spaces with miniature toy bricks of many colors."
