Thin like paper,
cut with scissors,
things that emit light.
Paper-cutting of light.
We design shadow.

Cut is a modular ambient lighting system. Inorganic EL, a lighting source thin as paper, is delicately cut out like a traditional Japanese craft of “kirie” (paper cutout craft).

The simple laser-cutting method enables production into various sizes and shapes.

It can be hanged or hooked, handled like fabric or paper, giving a mysterious existence to the product.

Magnets inside the frame enable each module to connect to one another. Hooking wires to the hook holes allows hanging from the ceiling.

colors : orange, light gray

Experiment

Inorganic EL is a paper-thin lightning device. Illuminates by applying voltage directly to the Inorganic compound, enabling cutting by scissors or cutter knives. Exploring the potential of the mysterious material.

Try 1 : Cut and shape out the light.

Try 2 : Cut out a different shape.

Try 3 : Cut out more detailed shapes and design the shade.
