Circuit-Hedrons:

Computers typically last 5-6 years before they become outdated and scrapped. Many of these computers are not properly disposed of and are harmful to the environment. My design goal was to find a new purpose for outdated computer hardware.

 

The name Circuit-Hedron Comes from circuitry and polyhedron

Keyboard Circuitry:

Circuit-Hedrons

Inside every keyboard lies 2-3 sheets of circuitry made of a heat-resistant polymer. When light shines through these sheets, vivid cast shadows illuminate the area. When folded and sewn together, this material can be formed into beautiful light fixtures.

Process:

Circuit-Hedrons

Circuitry sheets are sewn together in a sewing machine. Then they are cut on a template.

Next the circuit sheets are folded evenly and the tabs are hand-stitched in place

Finally the lighting system is inserted inside the polyhedron. The lamp is complete
