Out Of Order
Robots are replacing humans to do our repetitive tasks. Reliable and obedient, robots can perform their tasks meticulously over and over again. But what happens once this flawless worker starts to slack off? What if it loses interest in its daily routine, or simply drifts away into a daydream?
These thoughts became the inspiration behind Out of Order – an innovative LED light fixture that visualizes the transition from a repetitive robotic order to a disordered structure created out of free will.
The ultra lightweight cylindrical construction consists solely of wound industrial yarn, reinforced with resin, that resembles a three-dimensional play of lines suspended in space.
At first glance the weave appears to be perfectly ordered,... More

UFO - Fiber Pattern Lamps
In Aerospace lightness is of great essence, which has led to the development of lightweight fiber composites. Fiber composites can be extremely strong and lightweight by use of strong fibers accurately placed by robots. Atelier Robotiq is now using this technology to make lightweight fiber structures with mesmerizing fiber patterns.
The fibers of the Fiber Pattern Lamps create geometrical patterns, which are mathematically defined using in-house developed software. The pattern is created by repetition of the single fiber path around the product. For the same shape different fiber paths and patterns can be designed, resulting in different lamp designs. Additonal lamp designs can be made by combing two or more patterns into one design cre... More
