Obj01

Obj01 is a table lamp made from a single sheet of raw metal, which can be steel, stainless steel or brass. The sheet is cut by laser and assembled by hand with a rubber hammer, without welded joints. Simple geometric shapes form the lamp: a rectangle, a circle and a cylinder that holds the LED light source. The circle, once cut out, becomes the shade. The metal surface is polished by hand and sealed with wax. An integrated touch dimmer uses the conductive body, so touching any side switches the light and sets the brightness. The lamp measures 38 x 22 x 7 cm.

Vanke Cloud City

Vanke Cloud City is an architectural lighting design for a large mixed-use complex in Shenzhen. The lighting emphasizes the skyline and the four corners of the complex. A super high-rise building of 280.8 meters forms the core, enclosed by lower volumes in a layered composition. The light of each building follows its use and its architectural character. More than 97 percent of the fixtures are LED, and an intelligent control system adjusts the light by time and mode. During the main months of bird migration, the decorative lights are switched off at 10 pm.

Pendant Light

Translucence

Translucence is a pendant light with a hand-blown glass shade and a hidden light source. The glass is blown into an optic mould, which forms thicker and thinner vertical sections that catch and spread the light. A laser-cut acrylic detail at the centre surrounds the LED module and adds focus. Three variations of the central section and three sizes are offered. Each shade is made by hand, so every piece is slightly different. Translucence can be used on its own or grouped within a larger chandelier.

Cage

Cage is a lighting series made of hand-blown glass units held inside metal cages. The glass forms are produced with hot glass blowing, while the metal cages are formed with a traditional mesh system. One of the cages is a pinter, a woven trap made for fishing by Mediterranean fishermen. The amorphous blown shapes refract light at different rates, creating a crystalline effect and casting patterned shadows on surrounding surfaces. The series includes suspended and floor-standing versions in different sizes. The intent is to connect light, glass and the idea of freedom.

Solo Exhibitions Unlimited

Zhu Xiaodi Solo Exhibitions Unlimited is a light art installation for an exhibition space of 2000 square meters. Projection lamps cast clear line shadows with sharp boundaries and no distortion. Twenty-four lamps are combined into one unit at the center of the space. The unit is surrounded by lines and resembles a ball with sharp edges. The light covers the walls, the ceiling, the floor and the visitors. Ground illumination reaches 150 lux when all lamps are fully lit. A program fades the light between ten and eighty percent, recalling the changeable nature of Chinese ink painting.
