Geometry for Lampshades

Dror Benshetrit‘s Volume.MGX lamp created using 3D printing techniques, which “would be impossible to produce using more traditional manufacturing methods.” Dror applied squared square geometry to one flat, 3d, sls print of interlocking squares. When illuminated, the beauty of the complexity of the shape is highlighted through the various effects the light has on the hundreds of squares that make up the collapsible form. The light is diffused in a way that gives the structure a bright, warm glow in the center, which gradually fades into cooler, darker shades on the edges and corners of the cube.
