A Lamp You Only See When You Need It

Hide and Seek lamps will go invisible when not being used but light up a room when turned on.

These lamps can be sitting on a nightstand unnoticed until a switch is flipped and a series of panels with tangent lines brighten a dark space. These panels, made out of plexiglass sourced from ash, can be moved and adjusted for different textures and foci of lighting.
There are three panels that go on the light pedestal. Their lengths are the same to fit along the panel, while some have a shorter side than others. You can set them up in more than 10 recommended configurations, or overlap them to create custom designs.




Other than the way the lines look, the designs on each panel are different. The shortest of the three have a series of lines heading to the middle, but stop before meeting up. One of the thicker, larger panels have the lines cascading from the top, going down. The other of the larger ones have lines running from the side, swiping downward.



Without the light on from the panel, it’s difficult to tell what these glass panels are. When brightened up, it fills a room and begs to be played with. The artist, Félicie Eymard Ericsdottir, could have wanted a piece that would be observed and taken in when it was in full effect, but not so when not in use.



Ericsdottir is a designer with numerous projects under her belt which question how a room should look and give more feel to it than other products.
An example of this is her project Loom, a delicately crafted door handle that is placed on rooms that you wish to enter with care. Upon seeing the brass handle crafted with wool, it’s known immediately that what is inside should be handled with utmost attention. Attention being the key word.
