Number 009
Images of these bright and colorful lighting pieces crossed my screen recently. A collaboration between Tel Aviv-based lighting designer Naama Hofman and textile designer Dikla Ben Ari, each silk-screened Tyvek 009 light/art piece is completely unique as a result of the free hand printing technique they’ve employed.
Naama’s previous lights tend toward strong geometries so the 009 series is an interesting addition to her body of work. Each sheet of printed Tyvek covers a round LED-illuminated ring, where it almost appears to melt slightly as it meets the light, creating ripples and wrinkles in the sheet lending a much more tactile and soft finish to the pieces.
