关于 Nopales 灯具
Nopales 是一款模块化灯具,以印刷电路板(PCB)的扁平形态出货,用户可徒手轻松将其掰成一块块组件。这些互扣式组件随后可咔嗒扣合,组装成一株别致的立体仙人掌。设计灵感源自墨西哥的自然风光,充满趣味性的结构可以数十种不同方式拼装,甚至能通过组合多张板卡不断"生长"。这株 Nopal 不仅以柔和的光晕点亮空间,更在人与物之间建立起情感联结,邀请使用者成为自己那座发光花园的共同创造者。

- 独特属性
- Nopales is a modular lamp designed to be playfully assembled from a single Printed Circuit Board. Unlike typical PCBs that are flat and hidden inside enclosures, Nopales subverts this industrial nature to create a delightful object that is meant to be touched, bring joy, and evoke life into our spaces. It can ship flat as a postcard and can be hand assembled into your own nopal. Grow you cactus by combining cards.

- 设计挑战
- The project looks deceptively simple but a lot of research has gone into the interlocking connections. Even when PCB manufacturing is a mature industry, there is no way to connect two boards in the ways we were searching for. Current solutions require bulky mechanical components "connectors", or to be solder. We have tried multiple approaches and worked with the PCB manufacturer though iterations. Orienting components in different planes, plating surface edges, special routing, springs, and more.
- 灵感
- Nopales was inspired by the landscapes of my Mexican upbringing and our passion for developing creative hardware. We wanted to reframe Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)s beyond their technical existence, to expose the material's beauty and transform it into something tactile, delightful and captivating. We spent months working with manufacturers to create a simple and efficient way to interlock the PCBs both mechanically and electrically. Nopales circuit is designed to shine for months or even years.
- 项目周期
- The project started early 2023 and exhibited at the HeadHi Lamp show in Brooklyn NY from March until July. A new updated version was shown at PioneerWorks Software For Artists Day in November.
- 操作流程
- Nopales starts as a flat PCB that breaks apart by hand and can be interlocked into your own Nopal (cactus), then you can press the button to cycle though multiple brightness levels. It has an auto sleep timer to prevent draining the battery in case you forget to turn it off.
