ABSTRACT:
A light sculpture device, and more specifically, an article of furniture which displays light patterns, includes a box-like enclosure mounted on a hollow base. The enclosure includes a plurality of planar mirrored panels joined together at right angles to form a substantially rectangular structure in such that the reflective surfaces are directed interiorly of the enclosure. At least one of the planar mirrored panels is translucent to permit an observer to view inside of the enclosure. A plurality of lights are secured to the hollow base which emit light within the enclosure. The light pattern is produced by the light source along with the reflections of the light source produced on the reflective surfaces. This light pattern is viewed through the translucent planar mirrored panel. The light source can be but is not limited to a plurality of incandescent sources, low voltage sources, light emitting diodes, or even a visual display. The light source can be controlled by a device such as a sound activated circuit or a voice activated circuit or processing system and an input device and accompanying software. Also provided is a ventilation system for circulating air throughout the light sculpture device, thus minimizing the heat generated by the light source.
