About Be Water ማስዋቢያ መብራት

ቢ ዎተር (Be Water) መስመራዊ፣ ሞዱላር እና በውስጥ የተገጠመ ተንቀሳቃሽ (ኪነቲክ) ኤልኢዲ መብራት ሲሆን ግድግዳን በብርሃን ለማስዋብ የተዘጋጀ ነው። መብራቱ በብርሃን ጎድጓዳ ውስጥ ወይም ከዕቃ በስተጀርባ ስለሚገጠም የሚታየው ተንቀሳቃሽ ብርሃኑ ብቻ ነው። ብርሃኑ በእጅ በተሰራ የመስታወት ሲሊንደር ውስጥ ይሰበራል፤ ሲሊንደሩ በራሱ ዘንግ ላይ እየተሽከረከረ የሚዋዥቁ ብልጭታዎችን ወደ ግድግዳው ያንጸባርቃል። ውጤቱም በሚንቀሳቀስ ውሃ ወለል ላይ የሚያንጸባርቅ የፀሐይ ብርሃንን ያስታውሳል። አንድ ሞተር ከአንድ እስከ ስድስት ሞጁሎችን ማንቀሳቀስ ይችላል። አማራጭ ማጣሪያዎች ቢ ፋየር (Be Fire)፣ ቢ ኤር (Be Air) እና ቢ ኧርዝ (Be Earth) የተባሉ የቀለም ልዩነቶችን ይፈጥራሉ። አሉሚኒየም፣ ቦሮሲሊኬት መስታወት እና ፕሌክሲግላስ ጥቅም ላይ የዋሉ ሲሆን እያንዳንዱ ቁራጭ በጣሊያን ውስጥ የተሰራ ነው።

Unique Properties: It is a kinetic linear, modular, recessed, wall wash, decorative LED lamp installed inside a light cove or behind furniture.
Light is refracted through a deformed glass cylinder that rotates on its axis projecting upward fluctuating flares of light. One single motor can rotate with traction from 1 to 6 modules.
Components:
- Motor unit
- 1 to 6 modules
- 1 to 6 glass cylinders
The color variations Be Fire, Be Air & Be Earth are obtained with accessory filters applied directly to the light source.

Production Technology: It is entirely made by Italian craftsmen. The handmade glass cylinders are shaped like the surface of moving water makes each piece unique and unrepeatable.

The carefully selected materials reduce environmental footprint by being 100% recyclable:
- Aluminum
- Borosilicate glass
- Plexiglass
- Recycled plastic & cardboard for packaging

The combination of colors in the optional color filter accessories, create a 3D effect as the colored caustics move and combine themselves in the illuminated wall.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to create a lamp that emulates sunlight reflected on water, without it.

This effect can be created with projections but to prevent the shadows of people it is necessary to reduce the distance between source and target to prevent it.

After several tests, we concluded a cylinder was the right shape to work with. The round surface would repeat itself turning on its central axis, giving continuity.

A glass cylinder with an irregular surface like moving water surface was designed.
Research: In optics, caustics are light rays reflected or refracted by a curved transparent surface into another surface. Rippling caustics are commonly formed when light shines through waves on a body of water.
In order to emulate the moving light effect required, the designer observed throughly the phenomenon under bridges, sides of boats and swimming pools.

Experimentation followed with plastic bottles, glass and acrylic. Defining also quantity and intensity of light sources to find the right effect.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the continuous, soothing and hypnotic effect the sunlight reflected on the moving surface of water makes against vertical walls, under bridges and boats' hulls.

Other chromatic possible variants emitted as the lamp's water original effect are: Fire with the ardour of its flames, Air represented by the phenomenon of the northern lights (aurora borealis) and finally Earth inspired by lavender fields in Provence transforming and characterizing the surrounding environment.
Project Duration: WAW Collection Showroom:
Via Solferino, 11 - Milan, Italy.

Exhibited as a launch product for the new brand WAW Collection in Milan Design Days in 2020.
Operation Flow: Be Water lamp is to be installed inside a light cove grazing the wall or behind furniture, leaving only the moving light visible.
