Post-Utopian Light Production

Speculative industrial design and a tangible lighting installation exhibited at Milan Design Week 2025, exploring urban furniture waste, materiality, user agency, and tangible interactions in a post-utopian context.

[ 01 // OVERVIEW ]

Project framing

A team project showcased at Milan Design Week. The installation treats discarded urban furniture as a production system for light, putting user agency back into how illumination is made and shared.

Boards cover material studies, interaction mechanics, and the physical prototype as exhibited — the same sequence published on Behance, now hosted as a first-party case study.

[ 02 // APPROACH ]

How the system was built

The design language is industrial and speculative: waste streams become tooling, and lighting becomes a tangible interface rather than a fixture catalog.

Physical prototyping and installation detailing sit alongside UX framing so the object can be read both as product and as interaction system.
