The digitally crafted luminaires. Originally, I took on this endeavor to test the potential viability and beauty of backlit 3D-printed translucent shells by experimenting with Rhino3D.  In designing the luminaries, a primary goal was to embrace and celebrate the inherent “imperfect” qualities of 3D printing.  Wall thickness, infill patterns, and varying densities of the material affect the final light effect and are carefully taken into consideration, though there are many unplanned surprises with the process.  Ultimately, the luminaires are digitally sculpted to be small sculptures in the interior landscape, offering visual warmth and charm.
