Displayed at the Designersblock London 2009, Geo-y by Dee McMahon is an awesome geodesic light shade made up of several 3mm thick needle felt templates cutouts . Inspired by traditional furniture joinery, the Perspex pieces are used to secure the folded felt templates. Click for images.
The light glows through the cuts in each of the felt templates, and the interconnecting perspex pieces act as light tunnels.
