New York artist and designer Marcus Tremonto, in cooperation with Novaled AG, a company specializing in OLED technologies and materials, has designed PAD, a new transparent OLED suspension light. PAD is the result of a year long collaboration between Novled and Marcus Tremonto. This ultra slim light, which was conceived and developed by Tremonto entirely from an organic perspective, will be exhibited from April 15th to 20th at the 2012 Frankfurt Light+Building trade show.


Based on the pad-like fingers of the red-eyed tree frog, PAD uses transparent OLED panelsto create three types of illumination. The first two types occur when the PAD light is switchedon, during which the bottom of the lamp gives off a rich white light, while the top emitsambient light in a variety of colors. The initial series of colors, red, yellow and blue, werechosen in honor of the Bauhaus school of design. The third type of illumination occurs whenPAD is switched off, during which ambient light surrounding the lamp will pass through itstransparent OLED panels, creating colored shadows similar to the effect of light passingthrough stained glass. The OLED panels are also partially transparent when PAD is switchedon, creating a combination of light and technology that highlights the unique design potentialof transparent OLED light sources.
