The Nook Light, designed for a contemporary open plan dining room, consists of two major interlinking parts that fit snugly together. The shell, made up of laminated Koto and Bamboo Veneer, is bent at a radius to construct an organic frame. The frame houses heat-bent frosted Perspex, which allows warm ambient, yet sufficient light, though. This provides an appropriate environment for modern, family-orientated tasks such as homework, reading, socialising and dining. The bent Perspex is accommodated by a detachable horizontal Aluminium rod. Each Light encloses a CFL energy saving light bulb, which can be replaced by removing the rod to access the fitting.
The Light is a single article fixed to a ceiling with three steel cables stemming from an Aluminium cap. It can be hung solitarily or in a desired series at different heights.
As premeditated, the Light simulates a traditional bird house that provides a Nook – a quiet place that is sheltered by a tree or a small section of a larger room.
