Lauren Moriarty has developed a beautiful lamp based on the optical illusions that are created from layering multiple images in front of a light source. This pseudo-moir? effect comes to life when viewed from different angles, as the butterflies appear to flutter. These “Butterfly Effect” lamps make the most of a relatively simple idea, juxtaposing patterns to create movement. Released at London’s Design Week last year, these delightful lamps are part of Moriarty’s studies of illusion in domestic products.
