Living pixels | KaCaMa Design Lab

Taking recycled advertising banners as the project’s starting point; the designers gave a unique three-dimensionality to the material by cutting it into small pieces and combining them together to create interesting volumes of light and texture. The designers focused their efforts by creating each light shade individually and specifically for each stand, selecting the right banners, sorting out matching colors and sewing each patch by hand to build the perfect irregular shape. As the banners are printed in one side only, the lamps appear to be white and pale when switch off, but the plain appearance radically changes onece the lamps are lighted on the colors emerge from the inside.
