Maru's hidden secret is the kaleidoscopic pattern
of light it casts upwards. The torus form is inspired
by diatoms, which are at the base of the entire
oceanic food chain. The name Maru is found in both
New Zealand Māori and Japanese languages, with
references to the cycle of life. Maru is a feature
lighting sculpture powered by six internal Lumiled
LED's, which project light upwards creating overlapping
patterns. Maru can complement other light sources and
equally provide a moody 'wow!' element, in a low-lit
environment such as a bar, lounge, or restaurant.
