Delicate Dandelion LED Light Fixtures Illustrate Fragility of Life

It is hard to resist the urge of picking up a dandelion along the side of the road and blowing on it, sending its hundreds of seed scattering in the wind. Studio Drift, based in The Netherlands, combine the soft romantic characteristics of the dandelion into their innovative lighting creations. 

One collection, called Fragile Future, Studio Drift fuses nature and technology in a fairytale like light sculpture, combining LED lights with real dandelions. The dandelion seeds are picked by hand and connected to LED lights piece-by-piece.

The light sculpture is a clear statement against mass production and throwaway culture, says Studio Drift. The studio believes that light functions as a symbolic and emotional ingredient rather than a tool to simply illuminate the dark, as light lies at the basis of all life.

Each sculpture has a unique design. It consists of a visible circuit cast in bronze and three dandelights. Each segment can be attached to another, allowing for a wide range of design possibilities.

In addition to Fragile Future, the studio also designed the Dandelight, a simple yet beautiful combination of real dandelion seeds with LEDs. A spin off of Fragile Future, the Dandelight is a real dandelion seed attached one by one to a LED light, creating a light-emitting dandelion growing out of its energy source.

The LED light is attached to a battery through a little copper stem, uniquely visible and not hidden away as with most light fixtures. The fixtures are handmade with no two are alike.
