collecting branches that have already been cut down,german-based
designer marco iannicellitransforms them
into LED lights for little tree friends.the series is the
smaller brother and sister of the happy tree friend and the
playful objects use natural wood, harvested from dead trees. the
recycled pieces are rescued from either being burnt or
shred and although no damage is caused to produce the sculptural
pieces, they also cant be made with haste. before
the manufacturing process begins, the wood needs to have been
dead for more than a year and requires a significant
amount of searching for the appropriate branches. the end result
means that each item is unique, small LEDs are
inserted into their natural silhouette, leaving the original
shape intact. the design also consists of two moveable
elements, a tripod and strut that can be moved in order to
change the angle of light. these components are connected
electronically to each other by brass hinges that carry
electricity to the source.

Show me your heat sink Designing with LEDs is way more complex
than many designers seem to
think. A nice shape is not enough. LEDs need to be properly
driven AND COOLED. Otherwise they will
live much shorter that any conventional light bulb.
