ROOTS : Lighting System

Award-winning design blending form and function.

“Reimagine your space, without limits”

The project explores a modular lighting fixture that gives users the freedom to shape their environment, moving beyond rigid, predefined forms. Inspired by the organic growth of roots, the foundation of life, the design translates natural expansion into a scalable system that can grow without limits. Tubular modules interconnect through precision-engineered custom joinery, enabling adaptable configurations tailored to spatial and aesthetic needs while maintaining a seamless visual flow. What distinguishes the fixture is its interactivity. Integrated AQI sensors and stepper motors allow the structure to gently rise and fall in response to air quality, simulating the rhythm of breathing. This transforms the fixture from a static object into a responsive, living installation that fosters awareness of indoor wellbeing. Terminal ends house ambient red/IR downlights, while joinery nodes support snap-fit primary illumination, creating a subtle glow that reinforces a calm, root-like presence. Constructed from lightweight aluminum with anodized finishes, the fixture balances strength, elegance, and longevity. Concealed cables and integrated components ensure clean assembly and future scalability. Designed with a reduced-parts strategy, the system minimizes material complexity and manufacturing waste. Its modularity allows users to expand or reconfigure rather than replace, extending product life and reducing environmental impact. More than lighting, the fixture acts as a mindful interface, merging design, technology, and wellbeing into a future-ready, sustainable living light system.

Node Joinery Assembly


  • Designed to integrate two node joineries, enabling seamless root network expansion.

  • Functions as the pivot point for controlled movement within the structure.

String Assembly


  • The rope passes from hub to the the cable pass slot at the end of each RNA

  • Cables are tensioned and controlled by integrated sensors and a stepper motor in the hub.

  • Enables the breathing motion of the system, allowing the structure to rise and fall in response to environmental data.
