“Modular Building Material: Bamboo LED Lights Double”, by Jeff Dah-Yue Shi

Taiwanese designer Jeff Dah-Yue Shi designs a beautiful Bamboo LED system that strikes an unconventional balance between green building materials and energy-efficient illumination.

Tessellated bamboo panels combined with LED lights build walls, ceilings and floors. Minimalist spaces can be illuminated without using light fixtures.


The panels are made of a thin bamboo veneer that filters the light, a tempered glass to consolidate the structure and the LED light source at the base. The different levels of light and color intensity create the illusion of three-dimensions.

Dah-Yue Shi’s dynamic and modular design won the Taiwan Design Center’s gold pin design award in 2011.
