KINEMA pendant luminaire

The Kinema pendant luminaire is unique in its ability to give the user control of the light’s character to match the mood or the environment.

Each of the pendant’s rings can be individually flipped to create dramatic light and shadow effects, as a single object or in multiples.


Inspired by the movement of crustaceans, a wide variety of forms can be created by arranging the pendant’s rings in alternating open and closed positions.

It is through this control of light and shadow that a richer experience can be had compared to traditional modern lighting.

Kinema is available brushed brass and black, brushed aluminum and black, white and black or blue and white. Custom color combinations are available upon request.


Dimensions: 10″ x 12″ x 14″ tall

Underwater Illumination Simulation
The goal of this project was to simulate the experience of being underwater.
The installation was accomplished using a projector, mirror, tub of water and canopy of white foam core panel.
Underneath visitors were invited to lie down on a 3/4 inflated air mattress and view the projected images.

Transforming Light Studio – Serious Play 2008

I co-taught the Transforming Light Studio at Serious Play 2008, hosted by Art Center instructors Dan Gottlieb and Penny Herscovitch.

I shared my knowledge of non-linear folding techniques with the students whom collectively created dynamic forms and reinterpreted lighting fixtures.

About the studio:
Open your eyes to the power and poetics of light. Using paper, tyvek and other simple supplies, participants will invent a range of lighting solutions. Some elements will be inspired by the work of Conference speaker Robert Lang.
