Liquid, Oil and Air Combine to Create Hypnotizing Lighting System

Known for their innovative and unconventional ideas for lighting concepts, London-based design group Tangent delivers a hypnotizing ilumination system with Kihou. Using two types of liquid and air bubbles, a viscous golden bubble pushes through a layer of oil creating an amazing display of sublime pulsating light. To make Kihou, LED lights and a small air pump line the bottom of a vessel and a sticky liquid is poured in between the bottom contraption and the thin layer topping of black silicone oil. The slow ascent of air from the pump blows just enough to create the growing ambient bubbles before it dissipates back under the black surface for a truly hypnotic effect.
