Slim Shady
While repairing the solar thermal system on a client’s roof, we noticed these shiny thin folded metal skins that lay under the vacuum tubes and reflect the sun’s lost rays back into the tubes.
Not knowing exactly what to do with them, we took one of the elements home and started playing with it, outside its intended context. Having a penchant for experimenting with electrical circuits and lights, we soon began to interpret the thin metal sheet as a lampshade. Reflecting light on its back, mirroring and distorting the space on the front. Held to the wall by three delicate 3D-printed brackets, gently spreading its dimmable light across the surface of the wall and fading into shadow. The Slim Shady.
