A reconfigurable desk that supports fluid transitions from solo work to team collaboration.
Team: Funmi(Me), Caliegh, Richa & Brian
Problem
Lighting in everyday spaces is often passive, serving only to illuminate rather than inspire. Users increasingly seek objects that not only serve function but also evoke emotion and presence in their environments.
Craft
Constructed from interlocked wooden slats with an embedded LED core, Burst plays with volume and transparency, casting warm, ambient light through structural gaps, merging material form with atmospheric function.
Insight
Burst was conceived as a sculptural lighting piece that reflects energy and rhythm. Its slatted wood structure diffuses light in expanding patterns, offering a subtle visual pulse that responds to human presence and mood.
Value
Burst invites a contemplative relationship with space. It acts as a quiet emotional anchor, bringing softness, rhythm, and aesthetic clarity to rooms otherwise defined by static elements.
