Shylight
Certain types of flowers close at night, for self-defence and to conserve their resources. This highly evolved natural mechanism is called ‘nyctinasty’ and inspired Studio Drift to create Shylight; a sculpture that unfolds and retreats in a fascinating choreography, mirroring that of real flowers.
Most man-made objects have a static form, while everything natural in this world including people, are subject to constant metamorphosis and adaptation to their surroundings. Shylight is the result of the question how an inanimate object can mimic those changes that express character and emotions?
After a research period of five years, Studio Drift found the final form to express their idea. Shylight has become an object that feels alive because of unpredictable, natural-looking movements: it descends to blossom in all its glorious beauty, to subsequently close and retreat upward again. Shylight is created out of many layers of silk, which cause it to move with the grace of a dancer. The movement of the work can be controlled to the millimeter to create a subtle choreography.

[@cindyhill9091]

The beauty of these lamps and the installation absolutely blows my mind. I have rarely seen anything quite so stunning. I can't wait to attend the Rijksmuseum to see this!

Fui ao Centro cultural Banco do Brasil assistir a exposição do Studio Drift e fiquei encantada com a interação arte, natureza e tecnologia, sai de lá com um novo olhar sobre aquilo que somos e a vida, o mundo em que vivemos . Um sentimento de leveza e ao mesmo tempo de compromisso e respeito. Precisamos de mais pessoas no mundo com esse olhar estético lindo, leve, reflexivo e compromissado sobre o mundo.
Obrigada por vcs existirem e nos mostrar , através da arte, um novo olhar e uma compreensão mais doce e séria com o mundo, a vida que nos cerca.

Such touching commitment to nature in their work. I agree with them, nature is the true hi-tech of the world.

Well well well I thought I've seen it all till I see this 🙂
Wow it's an understatement
I personally am a huge Fan of light fixtures reason why my friend sent me this video Yesterday on Thanksgiving; Since I've been thinking about it
Today I finally had the time to really look into it.
To Find their products you go
"About" then you'll find links and go in the Website under the few lines to the upper left side
"Shop" to purchase
There's not more than 2 options on Sale as of today
But you can see all their products and I think maybe will have to call them and place an order it want others
I have few special designs and thought mine were amazing until now that I see this, I paid 7k for my latest dining light fixture which does simulates a semi Open Exotic Flower but this Drift Work is Superb simply put Stunning!
May be Way out of my budget as the most I'll pay for an additional fixture is 10k.. But it I could I would put their creation called Tree of Thénéré right in my front yard. Well Dreaming is part of Life!
