scala

modular lighting cardboard installation

This project was created as a product of a workshop that dealt with the correlation of cardboard structures and light where I explored cardboard, as a wide-spectrum raw material, a number of practical applications of this specific material, and the ways in which light behaves in different relationships with cardboard.

Through the analysis of known examples, examination of possibilities and potential, and transformation and overcoming of shortcomings in the material itself, new values and direction were interpreted within simple, functional lighting models.

This is how the scala modular wall installation was created. It has parts that can be put together depending on the intuition of the one who sets it up by "gradually" passing light through the material creating a pleasant atmosphere.

The product characteristics

The connecting parts are designed so that when assembling the installation, it is not necessary to use glue or any additional tools, but the slots fit into each other in a simple and intuitive way.

the connections system

In order to make maximum use of the material, the template for cutting square cardboard with a laser is designed so that the waste part is only the minimal one, intended for the connecting slots.

In March of 2021, in the School of Design Gallery in Zagreb at Frankopanska 12 there was an exhibition showcasing the work made in the workshop. The exhibition provided a platform for me to showcase my work and share my vision for creating affordable and sustainable lighting solutions.

I also had the opportunity to participate as an assistant in designing the scenography of the exhibition itself.
