Thesis Concept
As artificial lighting has evolved, our personal connection with our home’s lighting has decreased. Will providing small interactive objects, akin to candles, increase this personal relationship to our lighting, and therefore our home?

Specific Thesis Execution
Create small, personal lighting objects that can modulate between flat and three dimensional surfaces through user interaction, which then results in a change in colored light.

User Feedback
People find them very pretty, and like being able to control the color, but are somewhat unsure of what to do at first.
Everyone is afraid of breaking them.Wednesday, May 16, 12
