In interior design and architecture, nowadays, we see that the moiré effect is being used increasingly.
Moire patterns are created whenever one semitransparent object with a repititive pattern is placed over antoher. A slight motion of one of the objects creates large – scale changes in the moiré pattern.
David Derksen is one of the designers who used this effect in his designs, and showed it at last years Salone del Mobile 2015 with his Moiré lights. He calls it ‘a celebration of the intriguing moiré effect. These lamps invite to play and become fascinated by the moire principle. Squares, hexagons or rings seem to appear and to move, making this into an almost hypnotic effect.

One of David’s projects that was launched on Salone del Mobile last April in Milan were his Lucid lights. De collection consists of light objects with a perforated casing, which are carved out of aluminium.

‘There’s a lot to love about a humble shape that’s cut out repeatedly, creating large patterns across big scales. So many variations are possible with perforations overlaying them creating a moorish effect. Cutting out thick boards will express the edge of the material which creates a completely differen look to when a thin sheet is punctured, etc. Scale, proportion and material selections play a huge role when choosing and designing these types of patterns’ (yellowtrace).
