Master of Art in Interior Design Student, Vandana Sharma, recently received the A’Design Award in Lighting and Lighting Project Design. Her winning design was called “Black Fan Light Fixture Set.” Vandana was inspired by the structure of brain cells and transmitters.  She used the sparkle of crystals and LED lights to portray the information of brain cells flowing from one cell to another. The brain cells are represented by light heads and extended arms represent the transmitters.
