Lights are often static objects with a simple button to interact with. This lamp aims to enrich the interaction of the user with a lamp. By folding and unfolding the different layers, user can create different light landscapes.

The perforated lamp is designed for outside settings, like a terrace or a garden. It is based on the folding and unfolding of a water lily. I tried to create a mechanic/rough look by using perforated steel, which will immediately drag your attention when you are sitting on a terrace or walking in a garden.

The lamp is made of three different layers and every layer is made of another kind of perforated steal. By unfolding and folding the lamp, different patterns of light and shades will be appear with which users can create their own light landscape.
