PROTO LIGHTING
Lactea - the Latin term for the Milky Way - hints at the inspiration behind this design by Shoji Katsume. Spiraling cuts of inorganic electro-luminescence sheet “express the balance and conti- nuity that exists in the universe like the stream of stars in the galaxy or the rich chain of our lives”.

PROTO LIGHTING
Synergytec’s products are more usu- ally targeted at the large-scale winter illuminations market. For Pyr, they have taken a more personal approach. Inspired by an explosion of sparks and based around a dodecahedron shape, the piece can be controlled by iPhone or iPad to suit the user’s mood.
