One Thousand Flames
Moritz Waldemeyer’s latest project for Ingo Maurer is
a parabolic mirror that reflects digital flames from its
hexagonal surfaces. A custom-made LED display is
placed in the mirror’s focal point, from where the light is
reflected and multiplied into dozens of digital flames.
The resulting effect resembles the facets of a diamond,
but one that is inverted, concave instead of convex.
This jewel-like beauty combines the quaint charm of
candle-light with futuristic feel of intricate geometric
lines. A second light source uses the parabolic geometry
to create a pool of white light below the fixture without
ever interfering with the magic of the faceted flames.
