Woojin NamkungCorona
I designed 2 lightings which have the beauty and some dramatic effects of the moon. A user can rotate Corona’s each ring to change its shape and the amount of light. When it is flat, there’s less light coming out, and by spinning the rings and giving them more space to spread, more light comes out from LEDs. Lunar looks like a shape of eclipse, and at another time, it looks like a shape of the full moon.
