This was a student-run senior show to celebrate the end of our Industrial Design education at RIT.

The Quill Light will be reminiscent of a bundle of quills from a porcupine with similar inspiration from the 2010 World Expo's "Seed Cathedral" pavilion by Zaha Hadid.

I chose to design and build a functional chandelier using the porcupine inspiration and the application of fiber optics to create a powerful visual impact.

LED Christmas light strands hot glued into the drilled holes of a PVC tube which was then covered in a reflective film to hide the housing when hung.

Our pieces at the show.

This concept can be applied to various types of lighting devices leaving a lasting impact in any orientation.
