The 7 elements interconnected by hinges. A simple joint mechanism allows the parts to be rotated at 360 but they can also be fixed, thus allowing creation of two-or three-dimensional shapes.The main feature of the project is its versatility: thanks to its size, practicality and ease of assembly, it can be easily transformed into a table lamp, a wall lamp or even attached to a ceiling.
