The project:
code
Client
Out of respect for nature's ingenuity.
Shaped as a pine cone, this object blends into nature, thus respecting the natural environment, yet adding a functional and/or atmospheric light to it.
On the pine cone shape: Up until now, this unique natural shape could only be reproduced by nature. Now, using new 3D techniques and rapid prototyping, human beings can copy it and add value & functions where needed.
The Pine Cone light is not just an object, it's a message: a quest for all, to look for a perfect symbiosis of human intellect and nature.

The light should have a number of characteristics.
Light could be 'dropped' in a garden, as if fallen from a tree, like normal pine cones.
Light should be powered by solar panels, taking energy during day time, emitting light at night.
Light could be hanging from trees in garden
Material used by 3D printing to be biodegradable.

Lab Researchers: concept by
Michaella Janse Van Vuuren
Jan Van Mol

This is one of these projects in Addictlab that show the strength of collaborative processes. The Pine cone light is a concept by Jan Van Mol linked to the Eco-Research of Addictlab. Living in South Africa, he exhibited a number of talented 'labmembers'. Michaella is one of them. Jan has put the Pine Cone Light in the Addictlab community and is using it's open source methodology to enhance the concept.
.MGX is collaborating !
.MGX 's new collection 2009 will be called "bouquet 2009"
Every designer is presenting the flower of his vision, with his personal story.

Pine Cone Light featured in I.D. magazine.

Addictlab generated possible solutions:

1. Sketches & 3D drawings
0pine_prelim1
On the process: Michaella has been doing a great job in creating the 3D object. The 3D prototype will be printed by Materialise in Belgium, on November 18, and exhibited as a work in progress at the Creativity World Forum. Fittings for this first prototype will be traditional cold light, not yet solar energy.

Identified opportunities

Addictlab is looking for an editor who believes in the concept of innovation, addictlab's added value in view of concept, design, communication and sustainable changes and can bring a sales force to the table. This product could be a first product with a ADDICTLAB®-label. (More about this label)
contact Addictlab if interested to buy the lights or sponsor the research. Great PR value.
