TENSEGRITY LIGHTING BY MICHAL MACIEJ BARTOSIK

0 Comments

More like installation pieces than lighting, take a look at these sculptural lights by Polish architect and designer Michal Maciej Bartosik.

Called 'Tensegrity Lights', the design is based on two Kenneth Snelson sculptures from 1968: 'Needle Tower' and 'City Boots'.

"Utilising Snelson's structural discovery, appropriated and popularised by Buckminster Fuller as 'Tensegrity', new possibilities of light forms emerge whereby the light source and its electrical wire work mutually in compression and tension to produce a seemingly discontinuous field of light defined by it structural form." Michal says.

From the looks of his portfolio, Michal seems to have a keen interest in this part structural, part sculptural side of design; click below to see more.
