Undulus is a modular lighting system designed by London-based artist Scott Jarvie. It’s inspired by the beauty of cloud formations. It can be installed individually, in groups or in rows depending on the lighting requirements of the space. It provides a vertical directional light with a diffuse horizontal glow, utilising fluorescent tube bulbs, which have a number of benefits, including energy efficiency, low cost, long life in service and wide availability. Unlike compact fluorescent bulbs you are not required to dispose of the electronic starter every time you change a bulb.
The lighting design uses vacuum forming tools, along with modular and geometric array options. The current system only requires investment in a single molding tool that is linked and capped with cut stock material. If the shells were to be injection molded, there would be scope to introduce clip features that would reduce the component count even further. The investment in a single molding tool offers options beyond just one typology of lighting product.
Undulus can come as a wall mounted lighting source, vertically suspended structure or a floor lamp.
