This project began with the guidelines of using a 15”x 15”x 15” space to then be duplicated enough times to create an L,X, and/or T shape. We took this as a baseline, extruding a cube, which we then pushed in and out in three spots so that a nesting effect would be achievable. Each face of the final piece is the inverse of its opposite side allowing for an infinite amount of configurations.

The organic form was then sliced radially to define a waffle pattern, which serves as the main structure of the project. By slicing the form a series of interior forms and exterior surfaces are created so that there is a constantly evolving understanding of the project as the piece is rotated.

The spaces created by the waffle structure were then filled with either plaster or frosted PETG to create light and plaster as ornament. The PETG surface wraps the central interior space where the battery, nested in an extruded plastic case, sits with a strip of LED lights. Gaps in the top and bottom planes of the MDF waffle structure were filled with frosted acrylic for the LED light to have an overall glowing effect.
