Lighting engine
Fall 2019
A purely paper lighting engine that supports the activity of hanging out with friends in a living room. Elegant, while not distracting, the product diffuses white light pleasantly in its "on" state. In its "off" state, the lighting engine continues to be act as a positive addition to a space.
