Verge

Paul Maikovsky

University of Brighton

The position of the sun once structured our daily lives. Today, modern indoor lifestyles limit access to natural daylight while increasing exposure to artificial evening light. Disrupted circadian rhythms then contribute to poor sleep, metabolic dysfunction and cardiovascular risk. Verge reconnects people with the intrinsic relationship of light and time, through a dynamic pendant light that mirrors the position of the sun in its natural arc. Light output changes in spectrum and intensity, through multi-channel LEDs, to support the body’s physiological needs across the day. Verge translates the passing of time into the urban home through light’s spatial movement and circadian support.
