Faceted Tactile Light Series: A Tactile and Sensory Experience

Creating a Scintillating Light Sculpture

The Faceted Tactile Light Series is characterized by its meticulous construction using metal sheets that are cut and linked together piece by piece. This process results in a mosaic of repetitive cellular structures, forming a tessellated geometrical form. The faceted texture of the lights not only creates a scintillating light sculpture when switched on but also adds visual delight to a space when switched off.

One of the key design principles behind the Faceted Tactile Light Series is to create something playful enough to introduce curiosity with textures, tempting one to touch it. The light permeates the facets where they have been linked, revealing the geometrical lines of construction. This attention to detail and craftsmanship makes the Faceted Tactile Light Series a fine example of handcrafted lamps, drawing from India's heritage of exquisite handicrafts.

What sets the Faceted Tactile Light Series apart is its use of traditional materials to create a seemingly ephemeral light sculpture. The combination of brass, copper, bronze, and stainless steel adds a touch of elegance and durability to the design. Over time, the metal develops a natural patina that enhances the ambient glow of the light, adding to its unique charm.

The Faceted Tactile Light Series offers a range of options, including chandeliers and dome lights. The chandeliers draw from a modular structure, allowing for the construction of larger structures suitable for public spaces. The dome lights, on the other hand, are based on Buckminster Fuller's geodesic dome, adding a touch of architectural inspiration to the collection.

Recognized for its outstanding design, the Faceted Tactile Light Series was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Lighting Products and Fixtures category in 2014. This prestigious award acknowledges designs that demonstrate creativity, resourcefulness, and technical excellence. The Faceted Tactile Light Series exemplifies these qualities, incorporating the best practices in art, science, design, and technology to create a unique lighting experience.
