Poly-Weave Lighting
dyD Studios, New York City

The complex, woven, flowing ceiling was developed in CAD and tested in physical models.

As CAD/CAM process clearly exceeded the budget for the children’s bath ceiling, a rethinking of the form in thin, pliable, and waterproof materials evolved. Full-scale models were built to balance the retention of the original design with a low-tech constructibility. The construction of a simple, rigid, and removable wood frame provided the base for hand-cut triangles of white translucent polypropylene.
