Rich Brilliant Willing combines flexible OLED panels with 3D knitting for NYCxDesign
Rich Brilliant Willing co-founder Theo Richardson discusses the potential of using OLED technology in lighting design in this movie Dezeen filmed in New York for the brand.
OLED, which stands for organic light-emitting diode, is a lighting technology that can produce extremely thin and flexible light panels.
For New York's design festival, Rich Brilliant Willing has combined OLED panels with thin strips of aluminium wrapped in 3D-knitted textiles, to create an installation in its Soho showroom called Light Inflection.

"We've created an installation that explores the possibilities of OLED ? flexible sheets of light encased in 3D-knitted textiles," Rich Brilliant Willing co-founder Richardson explains in the movie. Rich Brilliant Willing teamed up with OLED manufacturer OLEDWorks for the project. Because OLED panels are so thin, they can be used to create much lighter and more delicate fixtures. Unlike LEDs, OLED panels also produce a highly diffused light, which means there is no need for the addition of a diffuser or reflector.
The installation, called Light Inflections, is intended to demonstrate the potential of OLED technology in lighting design
"One of the downsides of LED technology is potentially the glare from a single directional source of light," Richardson explains.
"OLED is a glare-free source, it's almost perfectly diffu...
