Sony and Japanese furniture brand Stellar Works collaborate on a conceptual project that uses lighting and audio visual technology to create surreal
environments that could be tomorrow’s reality
LIGHT HAS many forms and manifestations, and infinite possibilities for interior spaces. Its role in digital technologies has mainly been evident in exterior applications, such as media facades, but those technologies are also increasingly being applied in interiors (see FX July/August).
Sony and Japanese furniture brand Stellar Works have recently collaborated on a conceptual project – showcased earlier this year at NYCxDESIGN 2023 as ‘Staydream: a surreal reality’ – which combines the traditional craft techniques of the furniture maker with interactive technology. Seven distinct experience zones, effectively room sets, were themed with the idea of bringing a sense of the outdoors to an indoor setting.
