MATERIAL MARRIAGE
RUMI LIGHT
Material Marriage makes use of the dovetail, known for its aesthetic qualities and functional strength, to create an amalgamation of two disparate mediums, 3D printed plastic and poplar wood. Material Marriage joins the avant-garde with the archaic through its merging of additive and subtractive materials.

The inscriptions are written square kufic form, an arabic calligraphic script. The screens on the lamp are 3D printed, with thickness of the print determining the transparency.
