“Oh, Chandelier” is an exploration of fluid modular lighting systems. The design is based on classical and modern chandeliers, and modular toys such as LEGO. Chandeliers are generally fascinating, glittering objects that gives a pleasant aesthetic experience, whereas the modular toys provide a playful and dynamic building experience. This is a study that reinvents the chandelier— transforming it from something remote and secluded into an enriching design experience by integrating it with a flexible modular building platform. The modular system will provide flexible and creative choices on designs so that people can use their imagination to explore different structures and combinations. The material used for the individual modules is designed for translucent organic forms. What makes these fluid light forms special is the quality of memory and thought that emerges through the process of creation which is unique for each individual. The process of building these fluid light forms will create a sense of intimacy, as the relationship between light and builder evolves with a new layer of context.
