DANDELIGHT

With Dandelight, Studio Drift fuses nature and technology into a multidisciplinary little light sculpture. The work can be seen as a critical yet utopian vision on the future of our planet, where two seemingly opposite evolutions have made a pact to survive. Actual dandelion seeds are attached one by one to a small LED bulb, creating a light-emitting dandelion fed by its battery-powered copper stem. Dandelions can be found almost anywhere on the earth, from pristine meadows to industrialized areas – they even flourish on the side of the most heavily trafficked highways. Most adults don’t pay special attention to these flowers; they are generally seen as weeds. However, dandelions are historically prized for their medicinal properties, and those who takes the time to look closely will notice the inimitable aesthetic of its parachute ball. The Dandelight is as simple as it is beautiful. A little copper stem connects the LED to a battery, which is visibly integrated into the design and not hidden away as usual. Each piece is handmade and therefore different, but they are quite obtainable - as a delightful little night light reminding us of our ongoing evolution.
