Manta Rhei
Manta Rhei — a filigree OLED-based fixture
named Manta Rhei silently floating in space
while continually changing its appearance.
Combining cutting-edge OLED technology, electronics and control technology,
the luminare manufacturer Selux and new media design studio ART+COM have
opened a new chapter in professional lighting. Through the interplay of kinetic
aesthetics and the dynamics of the light a new world of lighting integration of
mechanical movement, and new directions open up for the use of organic light
emitting diode technology.
Its 1.2m x 2.4m body housing 140 paper-thin Tridonic OLED modules combines
light scenes and movement patterns into a series of carefully designed individual
choreographies. One such choreography brings to mind the gentle movement of
the manta ray. Thanks to the use of custom-built intelligent control technology
the overall quantity of light emitted from the fixture remains constant. The result
is a fascinating combination of light control and kinetics.
