Four interchangeable pieces serve two functions:
1. worn over the «ears”—hats that change the lighting effect;
2. positioned underneath—a base body that increases height.
I’m literally changing my height, Mr. SIBUR!
Tapered cones with a slanted top and a cutout are read as hats, industrial hard hats, and laboratory glassware.
This is a reference to Sibur’s industrial culture.
Polymers allow for four different light characteristics (and various combinations of these) using the same part shape:
PP — softly diffuses
PS — almost like glass
PC — provides a glossy sheen
SBS — dulls the light
This is also important for the tactile experience of interacting with different materials and perceiving them through touch.
