The idea was to develop a lamp with a mutating image, with an exchange of exterior skin for several finishes; metal, paper, fabrics. A stylized lamp, based on a T5 fluorescent light bulb, sheathed in a satin-white polymethacrylate tube that acts as a diffuser, and with a brass or steel mesh wrap-around screen that traps and filters the light adding metallic glints, the nature of which change depending on whether the mesh wrap-around is brass or steel.
Skin lamps can be used individually or in groups, as either standing lamps or suspended from walls or ceilings. They come in a wide range of sizes with the bigger models being ideal for spaces with a large surface area.
