Aperture Protocol is a lighting sculpture composed of 42 interlocking aluminum components. Inspired by cinematic softboxes, it reinterprets the principle: instead of diffusing light through fabric, it channels and reflects it through a deep internal grid. The result is a horizontal beam—precise, soft, and atmospheric.
As light moves through the internal lattice, it reflects off polished aluminum surfaces. These act as a quiet filter, softening the light without scattering it. Shadows lose their sharpness; what remains is a composed line of light—clear and calm, more spatial than luminous.
Aluminum is used exclusively for its strength, lightness, and optical behavior. Every inner surface is refined to enhance reflectivity, allowing the structure itself to shape the light. With the exception of a protective dust screen, the luminous effect is achieved purely through form and finish.
Each component is cut with tolerances as fine as a fraction of the thickness of a human hair. The object is assembled through a precise slot-and-fit method—no screws, no welds, no adhesives. Held together by geometry and friction alone, it locks from within.
From any angle, the visual logic remains intact: cells are aligned horizontally so that the beam opens wide across a room, not into it. Aperture Protocol doesn’t radiate—it draws a line. It doesn’t decorate—it defines. Light is not an addition, but a consequence of construction.
