Orbital Magnetic Light

Lightweight ceramic digitally fabricated LED light hovers over base the semi-conducting base creating a magnetic field around it enabling it to hover and rotate when gently pushed.
The light can also be hung like a static ceiling pendant.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: (Netherlands)
Inspired By: Magnetic levitation
Material: ceramic

LED Water Light

The light is made from recycled laboratory glassware; synthetic polymer tubes contain when used with low voltage LED lights.Light is diffused, deflected and refracted, creating a dynamic shadow focusing light accordingly.An additional mirrored semi-sphere can be used to reflect light upwards intensifying it in the process.

Manufacturer: (Netherlands)
Inspired By: Nikola Tesla
Material: synthetic polymer tubes

Hydroelectric Waterfall Prison

The sustainable prison acts as a pump storage hydroelectric power station. Ocean water pumped into the prison hold stored released from a height over the tyson turbines floating below, produces 3.6 MW energy.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (China)
Inspired By: Buoyancy Hydro Airlift Pump

3D Printed Electrical Conductive Light

The tempered glass light contains an electrical circuit powered by a 3V lithium battery in series with a photoresistor, a 1k resistor and a transistor. The 60 Candela LED light turns on when dark. The light contains a 'test' material in the circuit which is a replacable element that conducts current, these plates are 3d printed SLS metal componants which complete the circuit to like a reed switch.

Piezoelectric Playground, Belgrade 2011

Movement agitates the semicondcuting piezoelectric crystal disks which as a result generate an electric current within the structure itself, this voltage controls the holographic glass clad canopy and optic fibre light projections choreographing a series of patterns which illuminate the immediate context according to the music or events occurring within the canopy.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (China)
Manufacturer: (Serbia)
Inspired By: Clavilux Lumia Projects
Material: Semiconducting Piezoelectric cells

Cantilever Light

The 5V LED light strip is contained within a sealed tempured glass tube balanced vertically on a brass frame. An etched brass circuit plate is positioned in the glass tube and conducts a current to the LED strip.

Manufacturer: (United Kingdom)
Material: Brass, glass

Infinity Cliffside Pavilion 2010

The pavilion balances on the cliffs overlooking Llandudno, cape town, the main living area is suspended with a swimming pool connecting the interior and exterior, a dichroic glass and reinforced steel pod cover the main living area and a swimming pool connecting the interior and exterior.

Manufacturer: (South Africa)

3d printed Momentum light

A light which produces an electrical current as a result oif it's kinetic energy. The 3d printed nylon polymer shell rotates accelerating in one direction and then the other, this simple harmonic movement continues with the slightest of environmental changes.

Ordos Desert Buddhist Temple

The project has been commissioned by The city of Ordos. It is an open temple located on the outskirts of the Ordos desert, the Buddhist temple is an area for meditation and religious ceremonial offerings for nomadic peoples.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: (China)
Inspired By: Incense

Hanging Desk Lamp

The 3d printed shell is nonorientable, it is an extruded mobius strip with one surface that wraps and unwraps itself around the light source. A removable brass frame/cage acts as a consists of strips which allow the light to be hung or positioned siudeways as a table lamp if preferred.
The lamp has a spirit level embedded within its ceramic shell, the shell glows and reflects light round the surface giving a diffused quality.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: (Netherlands)
Material: Ceramic
Colours: white
Dimension: 35cm

3d Printed Magic Lantern

The ligtweight shell acts like a magic lantern rotating with the heat oof the lamp. The material is a olished fire resistant lastic that turn slowly projecting patterns onto the surrounding surfaces.

Designer: Margot Krsojevic (United Kingdom)
Manufacturer: (Netherlands)
Inspired By: Magic lanterns, coal effect electric heater
Material: acrylic based polymer
Colours: white
Dimension: 20cm

Floating Realities Art Museum

The art museum design attempts to choreograph images and views into the city in an attempt to highlight the ever expanding definition of what is considered real, the design dilutes the edges between the viewer and the virtual by creating a creating a collaged effect of the building within it's context. A superimposed perception of context and design.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (United Kingdom)

Water purifying Bridge

The form of the proposed bridge follows a water vortex, which pumps polluted canal water through and round the steel tubes which filter it and create a current which helps with the sanitation of the canals

Manufacturer: (United Kingdom)

3d printed Ceramic Air Turbine Light

This 3d printed light acts as a vertical axis wind turbine. The form of the light uses the properties of aerodynamics to behave like a wind propeller, in principal the design is inspired by the Ropatec wind rotor. The ceramic body of the light is attached to a vertical axis which turns a diode rotor that transforms the movement into light. This 3d printed shell traps wind which rotates the axis in turn generating and transforming energy into light.

Material: Ceramic
Colours: White
Dimension: 30cm height
Price: 45 GBP

Multiple Schema

Blurring the edges between real and virtual, an architecture breaking with anticipation and the expectancy of automatic response.

Designer: Margot Krasojevic (United Kingdom)

Fractal Dimension

The Tower, the imagined/subjectively perceived space is translated and continually morphed as a result of the surface renderings and reflections, whose boundaries and physical transitions are non-static, thus creating a dynamic series of dimensions. The reflecting surfaces have a Hausdorff dimension12 greater than its topological dimension, with the aim of presenting an infinite number of geometric iterations of an infinite length while the area remains finite.
