Lighting Fixture
Meander lighting fixture
Inspired by Islamic patterns, this light fixture looks into creating geometrical form and a play on light and shadow. Islamic patterns are created to lead the viewer to an understanding of the underlying reality, rather than being mere decoration.
Islamic decoration, which tends to avoid using figurative images, makes frequent use of geometric patterns which have developed over the centuries. So the design for the light fixture is more of using square patterns. The feeling, when placed in the space, is to have a warm, neutral environment. The material used is MDF. The light fixture is placed on a generic wall-based structure.
The patterns created allow light to pass through and shadows to be cast in the geometric forms. In attempts to construct a dynamic and geometrical structure is to mimic geometric patterns, shapes, and forms.
Geometry is one of the main characteristics that distinguish Islamic artistic designs. It creates an immediately recognizable identity. It honors nature in abstract decorative art. The light source used is the led light which is placed in the center of the light fixture.
