The base and post are made of aluminum alloy, and the glass is a patterned type used in architecture. A foot switch on the cable turns the light on and off. The floor light measures 400 by 400 by 1500 millimeters.

Wang Museum

Wang Museum is an architectural lighting scheme for a memorial hall dedicated to the Chinese writer Wang Zengqi, built in his hometown of Gaoyou. The lighting recreates the bright and gentle light environment described in his writing. A color temperature of 3000K helps the hall blend into the surrounding traditional historical district. Interior lighting emphasizes the walls, so the indoor light is also perceived from outside. Outdoor lighting shapes reflections on the water. Lamp slots and pipelines were set into the concrete in advance.

Each light is paired with a numbered digital certificate held on a blockchain.

High Heel Church

High Heel Church is a lighting design for a shoe-shaped building in a seaside park in Chiayi, Taiwan. The structure is about 17 meters high and 11 meters wide. Nearly 300,000 small glass pieces and 101 light fixtures are applied to the steel frame. Sunlight makes the glass flash during the day, while the wind moves the small pieces naturally. At night, calculated light angles give the building the look of a galaxy and make the heavy structure appear lighter. A light show with music is presented every hour, controlled by a DMX Art-Net system.
