Students were tasked to design and produce a lighting product following a concept derived from a biomimicry (the imitation of natural biological processes in engineering or invention) or biomimetic (the study of the formation, structure, or function of biologically produced substances and materials and biological mechanisms especially for the purpose of synthesizing similar products by artificial mechanisms which mimic natural ones) concept inspired by nature. Infinitum is sized for use as either a pendant light over a kitchen island, or a chandelier over a standard sized dining room table. It fills both a sculptural role, as well as a source of illumination.
