This is really really chunky - it totally undoes the functionallity of carbon fibre. The rippled form would only make sense for a weak material which required more stability. Cabron fibre does not need such a form - e.g. the Terence Woodgate table for Established and Sons: http://www.stylepark.com/en/established-und-sons/surface-table To use a high tech / high spec material is an opportunity to push the limits of traditional forms, this is simply massively over specifed and superfluos. Can you sit on it? Why carbon fibre?

You can see from the notebook in the photo that that there is a distinct cone of light. Anything outside this is going to be unilluminated. I agree that it is creative and an interesting approach but would challenge your thought that it is going to offer light for the whole table. To me it looks like one will be kissing carbon fiber while trying to read. b, yes it’s table lighting but the function I expect is a light that doesn’t have to be sitting directly over the top of whatever I’m trying to read.

How if the colours is white? i think its a good ide using that material. How if the colours is white?

I believe it's a rather interesting approach for a desk lamp structure and it creates full lighting for the whole table working area ... as in contrary to any usual desk lighting which creates a directional spotlight and might cast unwanted shadows. :) sean,
