Glowing Places

Design by Philips with an intention of understanding people’s reaction on lighting in public spaces. It’s called Glowing Places where the seating are made of plastic embedded with LED strips. The lighting pattern and colours depends on the length and number of people seating at that particular moment.

Glowing Places is a concept from an investigation into innovative ways for people to interact with light in public spaces. The plastic seating, embedded with LED (light-emitting diode) strips and sensors, measure the presence of people over time. Both the number of people sitting and the length of time they stay create a ’social interactive pattern’ that is translated by patented software into lighting effects in the furniture. Many people sitting for brief periods of time result in lighting activity expressing a busy period, whereas one or two people sitting for a longer period trigger mellow lighting.

Jean Marie Massaud’s Truffle

I just couldn’t resist posting Jean Marie Massaud’s Truffle. To create elegance and lightness to the design, perforated pattern are integrated into the body of the chair. Colors available are white, black, and green. Wish I had one in my living room.
