Forms in Nature is a chandelier, by artist Thyra Hilden and Pio Diaz, that casts a shadow of wild trees all around a room. The light source at the center illuminates the wild ball of gnarled “tree branches,” creating over-sized shadows from the floor to the ceiling. Like something out of a fairy tale, a bare room gets transformed into one with oversized shadows, engulfing anyone inside. After an overwhelmingly positive reaction from the public, HildenDiaz has decided that the light sculpture will soon be a part of a crowd-funding campaign on Kickstarter. 25 Cases of Creative Illumination Forms of Nature chandelierThyra Hilden & Pio Diaz, designersHighlighted here are a collection of inspired illuminations; lighting concepts that are unique and beautiful as they are useful.
