Little Shining Man



A feast for the eyes, the video below features a giant square kite made of 1700 3d printed connectors, carbon fibre rods and cubenfibre aerospace fabric.

“The design of the structure is based around the tetra kites of Alexander Graham Bell, multiplied out into colliding cubes that take their form from the cubic formations of the mineral Pyrite. A double wing module has been duplicated and arranged into a tight cellular structural arrangement that appears as a heavy, un-flyable mass. Utilising lightweight materials and the symmetry of the module and composition, it is able to fly freely and steadily.”

Little Shining Man Conceived by Heather and Ivan Morison, designed by Sash Reading and egineered by Queen & Crawford. Hats off to everyone involved in this amazing production.
