We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer Markus Fuerderer about their original and creative Luminaire design work. Markus Fuerderer is an award-winning industrial designer, that makes our world a better place with their original luminaire works.
Markus Fuerderer ("MF") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work Cubeoled Luminaire. Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
MF : Depth, Transparency and Contrast - Cubeoled interprets these fundamentals of visible light in a pure, subtle, monolithic design.
MF : Concept: 1 Half-Marathon (~100 Minutes); Visuals: 1 week; Prototype (mock-up): 1 month;
MF : When activated, the integral array transforms this transparent monolith into an omni-directional light source.
MF : self explanatory: cube + OLED = cubeoled
MF : 12 transparent organic light emitting diode (OLED) panels are arranged in an orthogonal coordinate system and laminated in between 8 optical/clear crystal glass cubes. Via transparent circuit paths applied on the inner glass surfaces, the assembled OLED panels inside the resin-laminated monolith are supplied with electricity.
MF : The research for this project was focused on the use of existing transparent OLED panels for illumination purposes. To date there aren't any luminaires existing that are based on transparent OLED technology.
MF : The most challenging part of purist/minimalist designs are the details: In this case, it is the technology of minimizing the visible parts of circuit paths and OLED bezels.
