This DIY lighting device, called Shiny Honeycomb, features a laser-cut structure made from plexiglass or 3mm DMF sheets. It comprises aluminum cooking containers acting as reflectors and standard light bulbs. Its modular design allows for various configurations vertically and horizontally. Intended for urban settings, it enables personalization, customization, and appropriation of public space. The project was created by a team led by Víctor Arranz Torrego, Paula García, Laura González Malingraux, and Oscar Miguélez Fernández with tutors Areti Nikolopoulou and Jose Perez de Lama at "The Commons Factory: Plug-Ins at Santa Ana" workshop (October 18-25, 2010) in Madrid, Spain. The press-fit system is simple to assemble, and cutting files are designed for 810 x 600mm plexiglass sheets, which should be tested with your specific laser cutter. Aluminum containers and lighting fixtures are added after the structural pieces have been assembled. Rhino and DXF files are provided as cutting files; assembly drawings will be uploaded soon.
