The weight of light
Nicolas Cheng, a Singapore-born student at the University College of Arts, Crafts and Design in Stockholm, showed a poetic take on energy awareness at the Salone del Mobile in Milan last week. Light is by definition something hard to quantify or experience by human hands, but by associating light to weight, Nicolas provide the user with the neccessary tools. Combinations of simple mechanisms utilize gravity resistance to transfer light to a bulb. For every 100 grams of weight, a corresponding 10 watts of light is produced. Good thinking.
