TRIM Floor Light
Concept Statement:
The TRIM floor light is part of a series of light fixtures which explores the volumes created when slicing away sections of a geometric body. The planes created from single points are the source for illumination. The sum of the points, lines, and planes create a solid form, as in to crystallize.
TRIM refers not only to the process to create the form, but also to the lamp's dimming function, carried out by a simple "trimpot", or potentiometer; to trim both form and light.
