The tangible representation of light as material makes it fun - and intuitive - to add it and to take it away. We saw an adult version of modular light blocks at this year’s Salone Satellite; now a children’s bedside lamp by beingblease that allows the child to configure colorful magnetic tubes that bend and shape light through conductive connectors. Modular design has advantages for making products more (potentially) durable and - in many cases - fun.
