Raised History

Raised History is a festival light installation created for a Christmas event. The structure is built from wooden lattice, which reveals its internal frame and forms the shape of a tree.

A motor drives the lock core, so the door can be opened even when it is locked from the inside. The lock has a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 50 mm.
