A beautiful piece of furniture-like installation that invokes the joys of childhood
The Bamboo-copter installation—Dream, designed by Taiwan’s Gridesign Studio, is composed of around 150 to 200 bamboo-copters to form a sphere that moderates the light emitted from its core. The bamboo-copter is one of the most popular traditional toys across East Asia, where children spin the simple, lightweight propeller toy into the air. Besides the contemporary aesthetic offered by this single-coloured, spherical lamp, its likeness to a traditional toy evokes feelings of nostalgia and community among many users when they take a closer look at the lamp, and will get happiness anywhere in the world .
