Introduction: Nine, Table Light

About: Currently I am a graduate student at Savannah College of Art and Design, major Furniture Design

Nine is a table light designed to be illuminated at all time. The body of the light is made of fiberglass; the support is painted steel. Fiber optics are embedded into the fiberglass. Additional LED source of light is placed inside of the cloud shape. At night the fiber optics emit calm and shimmering light, gentle enough not to distract from sleeping. If a stronger illumination is needed, the additional LED light can be turned on.
The name of the light comes from the phrase “Cloud Nine” which is derived from Buddhism; Cloud Nine is one of the stages of the progress to enlightenment; it is a state of illumination and bliss.
