BEAM

Does the future of home robotics have to be anthropomorphic?

BEAM is a “living” lamp that blends kinetic motion, light, sound and AI to transform our relationship with everyday household objects. Inspired by elegant, biomimetic movements of nature, BEAM creates emotionally-rich interactions through intuitive kinetic behaviors, bringing a uniquely graceful and delightfully unpredictable presence to your living space.

BEAM was the recipient of a £1K Development Award from the Interplay Kinetic Design Competition hosted by the Design Education Trust, and exhibited at the Royal Society of Sculptors in December of 2023.
