These images explore the use of light in a design that incorporates a light box and a shelving unit.
This concept came about through increasing the scale of ideas and moving away from simply creating decorative lighting. This idea can function both as a storage unit with an adjustable front to accommodate larger objects as well as a source of light that can be controlled through the movement of the hinges.
The use of steel wire or elastic cord would allow the hinges to run independently of one another and to easily slide back and forth within the design.
More experiments with light need to be done to play with objects within the box creating shadow and blocking the light source. These objects could create pattern and more interest in the shadows created by the light.
