Don't Sneeze! This Light Fixture is Made Out of Dandelions

One of our favorite pieces in the Israel Museum’s current “Curious Minds” design exhibition is this luminous sculpture by the Netherland’s Studio Drift. First built in collaboration with London-based Pavilion of Art and Design darlings Carpenters Workshop Gallery in 2009, “Fragile Future III” combines nature and technology by embedding actual dandelion seeds into LED lights — forming an impressive array of “dandelights,” if you will. Although delicate in appearance and name, this third installment is crafted into a maze of an open frame structure that isn’t blowing away anytime soon.  

"Curious Minds" is on view at Jerusalem's Israel Museum through April 14.
