The story about the 5x5 LED lamp comes together with the 5x5 chair introduced and awarded previous year. The chair's unique material characteristic required tiles’ dimensions of approximately 5x5 cm. Therefore the same dimensions were the starting point for the lamp. In order to avoid the direct form's repetition the 5x5 cm is applied in a form of rhombus, the main modular structure part of the lamp. Several lamps mounted together offer the possibility to create different lighting patterns like zig-zag, diagonal line, the shape of an arrow, or other shapes by using designer's own creativity.

Vana

The structural systems of plants act mainly in compression and bending. In reverse we can obtain a geometry that performs well in tension. Designed as a tensile single surface, Vana is suspended from the ceiling and descends as four glowing columns of light. The geometry, tessellated into triangular segments, has been digitally grown using a cellular algorithm. Lit with LEDs from the inside, light shines through the stitched joints and lightens the space with an immersive illumination. Vana forms an iso-surface around a venation network, a cortex around an anastomosis system.
