LUMINOUS WAVEFORMS
Luminous Waveforms is an illuminated seating arrangement made up two parametrically designed, sculpted wooden benches. The organic curves are inspired by nature and sound waves, sliced into a repeating rhythm.
The fluid elegance of the forms and gradual color shifts from the interior illumination transform the physical experience of the seating. The seating is both form and function.
The project was designed and implemented by Victoria Mara Heilweil & Phil Spitler in San Francisco.
