The Fracture Light is designed to add a kenetic and tactile aspect to adjusting the brightness of a light–to create a direct link between the action of brightening and the form of the object. With the pull of a cord, the cracks in the surface fracture and pull apart releasing light and brightening the room.
The mechanism is a custom hoberman sphere based around the geometry of a dodecahedron. It expands to more than twice its original size.
