This project is named “Breath of Light,” designed by Czech lighting specialist, Preciosa Group. The particular piece was displayed in Milan Design Week 2018.
“Breath of Light” injects life into the traditional concept of a chandelier. The visitors interact with the art piece and become part of the display. Simply sharing a breath, they create a lighting and music effect. Therefore, it becomes something more than just a beautiful lighting device, but a social tool. When interacting with the design piece, they also work together to explore the different lighting possibilities.
Technically, the design has over 1000 individual opal crystal bubbles. Special sensors are installed in different corners of the project. The idea is developed based on the company’s generations of designers’ creativity since 1548. The number of designers and workers behind this art piece is unknown, but we know that the creative director is Michael Vasku. They are inspired by historical chandeliers and contemporary pendants. I am inspired to create more interactive lighting devices, furniture, and building parts in the future.
