Leaves of cocooning 3D printed bands cradle their fiery core, overlapping perpendicularly to encourage crystalline light refraction. When passing through the corrugated structure, light breaks, softens, and multiplies into an engulfing spread.

Nestled inside the Helm is a labyrinth of LEDs and diffusers, combined meticulously to be entirely undetectable from the outside.
The power cables also serve as the suspension system. All details on the Helm light are silver-colored.
Years in development, the Helm lamp was driven by a simple question: how can a lighting effect feel so seamless, so unforced, that it could pass as a natural phenomenon?
In a completely darkened space, the brass hearts fade to black, leaving behind only golden, levitating bands.
