Voronoi: a parametrically designed table lamp

The project

Archicercle designed Voronoi as a table lamp to create ambient light and a play of shadows in intimate settings, such as a bedside table. Its shade draws on Voronoi tessellations and surrounds a spherical RGB LED light source.

The design was developed using parametric software that allows both the pattern and its subdivisions to be modified. Rather than being restricted to a fixed drawing, the shade’s geometry can be adjusted throughout the design process.

The balance between solid and open areas changes progressively from the base to the top. This arrangement was intended to direct more light towards the ceiling and less to the sides, linking the composition of the pattern to the direction of the light.

The piece has a cubic body with blue openwork and a gold or beige-toned base. Irregular openings define its faces, translating the tessellation into a tabletop object. Archicercle’s documented contribution is the lamp’s parametric design and the definition of this pattern.
