Meta Late is a virtual rendition of the Late 3D-printed Lamp, designed by MEAN and produced by Nagami, and is the representation of the physical lamp in the Metaverse.
The rotating and overlapping hexagons are generated using a Python script and provide an outline shape used as the layered pathway curves for 3D printing. The resulting form is a phyllotaxis - a geometric phenomenon commonly found in nature.
‘ليت — Late’ is an experiment in light, materiality, computation, geometry, and form. The name is given due to the long time taken for this experiment to design, prototype, and manufacture and our lateness in delivering it.
‘ليت — Late’ in Emirati dialect also is an informal word for ‘Light’.
