Mickus Projects designs the Hedron, a multipurpose centerpiece, 3d-printed chandelier that can be installed both indoors and outdoors while delivering a complex and mesmerizing visual experience that leaves observers intrigued by the mesmerizing lighting effects.
The shade is an array of tapered cell walls, precisely angled to bounce light twice from the internal LED source to the softly diffused light exiting the fixture.
The 3d-printed surfaces have a subtle, striated texture creating a distinctive gradient across each surface.
The Hedron has a dual nature: it looks ethereal and translucent during the day, emitting a warm light at night.
The optional white ceramic coating enhances its nighttime appearance, making the light more dramatic and creating strong visual gradients across its textured surfaces.
The shade is 100% PLA (Polylactic Acid), a lightweight and stable bioplastic material derived from renewable, organic sources such as corn and sugar.
PLA does not contain any fossil fuel or petroleum products.
With a translucent white natural color, the fixture has an ethereal quality by day and a uniquely warm quality of light by night.
With the optional white ceramic coating, the fixture takes on a more dramatic quality of light, with strong gradients from light to dark across its textured surfaces.
