Concept
A two metre diameter interlocking cell structure based around a truncated icosahedron form; the form most commonly used for the football. It is powered by a custom LED unit of 31 individual 3 Watt LED’s (one in each cell except the top) that are then diffused to bounce light onto the individual cell surfaces.
How do you truncate your own icosahedron? Easy – simply get a hold of a humble icosahedron and chop the corners off the 20 flat surfaces, you will of course end up with 32 faces comprising 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons. You have now successfully truncated an icosahedron.
The piece is built to order.
