Japanese designer Kazuhiro Yamanaka has designed a sculpture lamp with incredible visual impact. Graffiti is a modular pendant that can change its appearance at will. It consists of a multitude of steel rods which magnetise as they choose to the rectangular central structure. You can place the rods as you wish and move them according to your inspiration at any given time. The user becomes co-creator of the design. The user can have fun drawing "graffiti" in the air with the metal rods. The light sets off the aesthetics of the lines created by the rods while illuminating the surrounding space. The thin steel rods draw clear geometric lines. They appear like pencil lines drawn in space. The fine, linear silhouette is like a three-dimensional sign suspended in the air. With this light, Kazuhiro Yamanaka magically explores presence and absence, light and fluidity, transparency and emptiness... The two powerful LED strips are located in the central structure: one placed above the structure, the other below. The Graffiti pendant emits both direct and indirect lighting (directed downwards and towards the ceiling). Graffiti is a sculpture of light that’s lightweight but which truly inhabits the space it occupies. Designer Kazuhiro Yamanaka explains "Designers should contemplate the emptiness that surrounds objects, the space between objects, and the relationship between these objects. I think that furniture - chairs, tables, lamps, etc - could be like a constellation of stars, and we could create lines to connect them in three dimensions and so create a specific story. As a designer, I believe it’s my job to create stories. To achieve a concept effectively, I try to create maximum impact with minimal use of materials. ‘’
