Design of prototype “Drops of Light" The
ceiling lining is composed of eight luminous, tear-shaped textile elements
which break the formal dominance of the room's constructive beams. These
various forms of lighting affect the perception of height and space. Installed
within the volume of the sound absorbing drops are red fluorescent tubes
directed downwards and blue fluorescent tubes directed upwards. Together,
the lights give off a deep pink glow. The form of the light drops is generated
from the pulling forces of the material's own weight. The underside of
the material is formed by a faintly transparent white artificial turf
that not only distributes light but also regulates room acoustics.
