Shaft Of Light

Shaft Of Light was a lighting product I designed in 2007-2008. The contemperary design became inspired by nature and minimalist architecture. Shaft Of Light won The Norman Whiteside award for design in 2008 and Top Student Engineering award that same year. This strongly influenced my passion for design and architecture.
