Design studio Bybeau’s minimalist XYZ lighting collection draws on Cartesian coordinates and features magnetic engineering that means its arms can be rotated 360 degrees.
The modular collection, which won the public vote for lighting design of the year in Dezeen Awards 2020, is designed to be simple and universal rather than conceptual.
設計工作室Bybeau的極簡XYZ照明集合利用笛卡爾坐標，並具有磁性工程技術，這意味著其手臂可以旋轉360度。
該模塊化系列在簡單，通用，而非概念性的設計中贏得了2020年Dezeen大獎的年度照明設計的公眾投票。
The team was informed by the Cartesian coordinate system – which uses an x-axis, y-axis and z-axis to specify a location in three-dimensional space – when creating the eponymous design.
“Every designer, every day uses XYZ, it’s fundamental to how we communicate dimension and form,” designer João Fagulha told Dezeen.
“In many ways, it’s the language of design. From sketchpad to 3D program, XYZ is how design works.”
“This isn’t a modern technique, it dates back to the 17th century, and it certainly isn’t something new to us – adapting the clean lines of contemporary architecture into our work is something we have been working on for many years. ”
在創建同名設計時，笛卡爾坐標系統為團隊提供了信息-直角坐標系-使用x軸，y軸和z軸指定三維空間中的位置。
設計師JoãoFagulha告訴Dezeen：“每個設計師每天都使用XYZ，這是我們傳達尺寸和形式的基礎。”
“在許多方面，這是設計的語言。從草圖板到3D程序，XYZ就是設計的工作原理。”
“這不是一種現代技術，它可以追溯到17世紀，對我們來說當然也不是什麼新鮮事物-將現代建築的簡潔線條融入我們的工作是我們多年來一直在努力的事情。”
The studio’s aim for the light was to break the design down into its purest form.
“The name itself comes from how we always label the parts of our installations to most easily install them,” Fagulha said.
To create the minimalist style, Bybeau used a triple-ring magnet that means each XYZ arm can be rotated 360 degrees to create a versatile design. The magnetic connection system is housed in a brass axis hub, while the arms are made from carbon fibre.
“One of the details we are proudest of is that the points where the axes cross are completely seamless as if they’re just balanced on top of each other,” Fagulha said.
“The secret here is how the tubes are held together – but we’ll have to keep that one to ourselves for now!”
該工作室的目的是將設計分解為最純粹的形式。
Fagulha說：“名稱本身來自我們總是如何標記安裝的各個部分以使其最容易安裝。”
為了創造極簡風格，Bybeau使用了三環磁鐵，這意味著每個XYZ臂都可以旋轉360度以創建通用設計。 磁連接系統位於黃銅軸轂中，而臂則由碳纖維製成。
Fagulha說：“我們最引以為傲的細節之一是，軸線相交的點是完全無縫的，好像它們只是在彼此之上保持平衡。”
“這裡的秘密是如何將這些管子固定在一起-但我們現在必須把那個管子留給我們自己！”
The lights are modular and can be used on their own or become a part of a larger installation. Bybeau used carbon fibre stock that was already in production to design the LED lights.
“The only material that could fully realise the elegance of the concept was carbon fibre, which, even though new technologies allow it to be recycled, was problematic from an environmental perspective,” Fagulha said.
這些燈是模塊化的，可以單獨使用，也可以成為較大安裝的一部分。 Bybeau使用已經生產的碳纖維原料來設計LED燈。
Fagulha說：“能夠完全實現這一概念的優雅的唯一材料是碳纖維，即使新技術允許將其回收利用，碳纖維也存在問題。”
“However, the minimal design means that the look of XYZ will be future-proofed,” the designer added.
“We can also upgrade XYZ with new lighting solutions and technology by engineering a system that allows us to easily slide them in and out without having to change the tubes themselves.”
Among the other public vote-winners in the design category of the Dezeen Awards 2020 are Yuting Chang’s inside-out Plycelain tableware collection and Suzanne Brewer’s “Segway-style” wheelchair that allows users to stay upright.
設計師補充說：“但是，最小的設計意味著XYZ的外觀將過時。”
“我們還可以通過設計一個系統使XYZ升級為新的照明解決方案和技術，該系統使我們能夠輕鬆地將其滑入和滑出而不必更換燈管本身。”
在2020年Dezeen獎設計類的其他公眾投票獲獎者中，還有Yuting Chang的內而外Plycelain餐具系列和Suzanne Brewer的“ Segway風格”輪椅，可使用戶保持直立。
