DESIGN NAME: Cube
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Illuminated Sculpture
INSPIRATION: The exclusive structure of the Yakobium sandstone sculptures is inspired by Bohemian Paradise in the Czech Republic and its unique rock formations. Since the site and the rock formations are marked as national heritage, crafting an object of this unique piece of nature is out of the question. So, with our unique technological process, everyone can enjoy the unique structures at home without harming nature. The inspiration comes from visits to the national heritage site.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Yakobium sandstone sculptures are unmatched, and without our novel technological process, they cannot and have never been created before. The structure mimics natural rock formation, and every single sculpture is unique since it is finalized by hand. In addition to the structure, they are illuminated from within, creating specific ambient lighting.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The sculpture can be placed in the interior only. You can switch on the light source and switch between a number of different modes to adjust the illumination.
