Organic Transformations, Altering the Light for an Effectual Atmosphere
This is the Kinema Pendant Luminaire by Stuart Fingerhut. This is a highly innovative and extremely unique lighting design that allows the owner to control the amount of light that is illuminated. According to Stuart, “The Kinema pendant luminaire is unique in its ability to give the user control of the light’s character to match the mood or environment. Each of the pendant’s rings can be individually flipped to create dramatic light and shadow effects, as a single object or in multiples.”
This design also has an organic shape, which is somewhat reminiscent of a human rib cage with the light bulb acting as the heart. The idea is simple, but kind of effect it has on the environment is one of complexity. The shape of the whole fixture can change as soon as the panels are adjusted, which then alters the look of it as it changes the ambience. The use of light and shadows is much more complicated than a standard modern lighting accessory.
Since the panels can be moved according to the user, it allows for a personal setting to be in place. The lighting thus is fluid and can be adjusted to one’s mood. This kind of lighting is geared toward individual taste and is more artistic than practical. It will surely catch the attention of any onlooker. It is not meant to be added to just any type of ordinary design layout, but placement of this should be well thought out because it is meant to be a centerpiece. It should be placed in an area where the furniture, color palette and other decorative features will complement the design. There should be nothing that detracts the attention from this piece because of its sheer uniqueness.

They also come in several colors, so that it can match many different color palettes. The color does not particularly add or detract from the overall design because either way this is a truly anomalous and dynamic design.
