LUMINAIRE TRÉPIED
Luminaire Trépied is a sculptural lighting concept that merges mechanical precision with expressive form. Designed as a kinetic ceiling-mounted fixture, the piece features a QUAD-armed structure composed of layered translucent panels, exposed wiring, and articulated joints that evoke both industrial functionality and refined craftsmanship.
The design emphasizes movement and adaptability—each arm operates like a delicate machine, able to adjust and reorient its cluster of embedded lights. Colored wiring is intentionally revealed, celebrating the honesty of construction and the beauty of functional components.
As both a source of illumination and a statement object, Luminaire Trépied explores the intersection of architecture, product design, and kinetic art. It demonstrates an approach to lighting as spatial performance, where engineering and aesthetics converge to transform the atmosphere of a room.

MECHANICAL CLOUD
THE MECHANICAL CLOUD IS A SUSPENDED LUMINAIRE THAT MERGES SCULPTURAL ABSTRACTION WITH PRECISE LIGHTING ENGINEERING. ITS FORM, A LIQUID MASS HELD MID-FALL, APPEARS TO DEFY GRAVITY—AN ORGANIC SHAPE THAT SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF DRIPPING THROUGH SPACE. CAST IN A TRANSLUCENT, LIGHT-DIFFUSING RESIN, THE BODY OF THE FIXTURE GLOWS WITH A SOFT, EVEN LUMINANCE, WHILE AN INTERNAL LED ARRAY IS CALIBRATED TO 2700K FOR A WARM, AMBIENT PRESENCE.
SUSPENSION IS ACHIEVED THROUGH A MINIMALIST POWDER-COATED STEEL ARMATURE, WHICH BOTH SUPPORTS THE WEIGHT AND INTEGRATES THE ELECTRICAL PATH IN A SINGLE, STREAMLINED GESTURE. A SLENDER DOWNWARD EXTENSION—A METALLIC “TAIL”—ANCHORS THE COMPOSITION, LENDING VISUAL BALANCE AND A SENSE OF CONTINUOUS FLOW.
THE FIXTURE IS EQUALLY SUITED FOR CLUSTERED ARRANGEMENTS OR SOLITARY INSTALLATIONS, WHERE IT OPERATES AS BOTH LIGHT SOURCE AND SCULPTURAL OBJECT. THE MECHANICAL CLOUD TRANSFORMS THE FUNCTIONAL ACT OF ILLUMINATION INTO A POETIC EVENT—A MOMENT WHERE MATERIAL, FORM, AND LIGHT EXIST IN PERFECT SUSPENSION.
