ARABIC GEOMETRIES

Lighting installation is composed of 124 geometrical shapes in amber, clear and bronze colours
 
The creation of this suspended sculptural lighting feature began with the simple idea of deconstructing Arabic geometries. In the beginning, there was the eight pointed star, from which the form was extruded, developed and rotated into intersecting cubes. Afterwards, 3D diamond shapes, which normally surround the Arabic eight pointed star, were developed.  Designers aim was to shift the viewer’s experience between the elements from seeing beyond and through the sculpture and offsetting against areas of reflection in order to multiply elements of the suspension. The use of double sided mirror finish glass was employed to encase random shapes. This allows the viewer to see multiple light sources as reflections, where in fact there would only be one
