Abstract:
ILT - table light. Materials - acrylic and aluminium. The ILT light is the result of a research project into cold-forming acrylic sheet. Cold-forming is the ability to create form without the need for moulds or external inputs such as heat and pressure. The design exploits acrylic's natural characteristics of crystal-like transparency and limited flexibility. The bottom cylindrical part serves as a base to keep the light vertical, being clear it allows light to escape onto the table surface. The visual mass of the light is also reduced by the clear base and a sense of weightlessness is achieved. The top cylinder or diffuser can be produced using either opaque or transparent acrylic, depending on what type of illumination is desired. The ILT table light was selected to be exhibited in the Workshopped exhibition together with 30 other designs. Information about Workshopped, visit - www.workshopped.com.au
