Day'lite

Day’Lite is a tactile, sculptural interior object that reimagines how we interact with daylight. Designed for people working from home, it explores the relationship between visual comfort, personal expression, and occupant autonomy. Inspired by Tetris and sliding-tile puzzles, Day’Lite uses modular acrylic panels that can be rearranged through simple fingertip movements. Combining coloured, opaque, and perforated surfaces, the object explores two optical mechanisms: spectral transmission and selective occlusion. Each movement transforms the composition of the object while altering the colour, light, and shadows within a space.Bringing together interior, product, and interaction design, Day’Lite proposes a more playful, participatory relationship with our everyday environment. Rather than simply receiving daylight, what if we could shape it?
