Dezeen Space: today at Dezeen Platform, Portuguese designer Manuel Netto presents a lamp that can only be turned on by moving the bulb.
Electrical current is only passed through the bulb when it’s attached to specific docking points along the structure’s branching arms.
To turn the lamp on, users take the bulb out of its holder and touch it to the appropriate contact point.
Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space.

Dezeen Space: Glasgow designer Fraser Ross presents his plant-like LED lamps, trapped under bell jars, which react to the sound and movement of onlookers at Dezeen Platform today.
The lamps turn on, twitch and uncurl when users touch the glass or blow on the sensors.
Each lamp is hand-crafted from LED lights and wires, encased in individual glass bell jars with wooden bases.
Ross also shows a new version that recoils when viewers tap on the glass of its display cabinet.

Dezeen Space: graduate designer Jólan van der Wiel creates a series of stools shaped by magnets live at Dezeen Platform at Dezeen Space today.
Each stool takes about 20 minutes to produce, using van der Wiel’s machine that shapes the material according to the postion of magnets and the force of gravity.
Each one can be unique, dependending on where he places the magnets.
Van der Wiel graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam this summer.
Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.

Today at Dezeen Platform: LingJing Yin, Mark McKeague and Ting Chung Jessica Cheng
Posted in: Dezeen Platform, Dezeen Space
Dezeen Space: visitors to Dezeen Space today can stand on Dezeen Platform installation to create a soundscape by linking hands with others.
A sensor in the base sends signals to a speaker playing a combination of tracks. When people link hands (0r any other body part for that matter) the signal intensifies, increasing the volume, length and layers of sound.
The presentation is an adaptation of LingJing Yin‘s Touch*Play project, presented at Show RCA this summer and developed in collaboration with fellow Royal College of Art student Mark McKeague.
They previously developed toys to help autistic children explore and a mat that uses the same technology for dance performances (shown here).
LingJing Yin worked with designer Ting Chung Jessica Cheng to design the sound for this adaptation at Dezeen Platform.
Each day, for 30 days, a different designer will use a one metre by one metre space to exhibit their work at Dezeen Space. See the full lineup for Dezeen Platform here.
