Coated with NOSTRA, a hydrophilic material developed by Mitsui Chemicals, Cuddle is a lighting system created by studio we+ that reflects light through drops of water.
The properties of the NOSTRA coating enables the lighting system to create evenly spaced out water droplets on the surface of the board.
“By controlling the shape of the water, which is inherently difficult to manage, it creates never before seen expressions of water, light, and shadow,” said we+. “As a breeze blows across the water droplets, it sparkles, and shadows cast by the light shimmer as if given the breath of life.”
