The Northern Lights LED Sphere.

With shifting and undulating lights reminiscent of the Aurora Borealis, this is the illuminated sculpture that simulates the atmospheric phenomenon using powerful blue, white, and green LEDs projected through a fragmented diffuser against the light-bending curve of a silvered, borasilic glass globe. The lights blend to generate seven soothing color combinations that appear to ripple and shift. Designed by the IDEA-award-winning Mathmos Design Studio in Clerkenwell, England, the internal surface is lined with dimpled chrome that produces an ever-changing reflection, while the silvered-glass center further reflects and bends the light. The handcrafted, mouth-blown glass display rests on a chromed-zinc stand, and turns off and on by gently applying pressure to the top of the dome.
