The properties of XURF being used in lighting appliences.

‘XURF’ is the abbreviated name given to the material, Expandable Surface Systems. XURF Systems are continuously morphable curved surfaces with very unique properties. In the same way that a flower is able to control the movement of it’s petals in reaction to light, Expandable Surface Systems use similar light sensitive properties that allows it to function accordingly. The combination of this unique biological behaviour coupled with tessellated, mathematical structures upon its surface, makes ‘XURF’ an innovative, smart material that has an extensive range of uses. Applications include interior and exterior architectural surfaces, outdoor sculptures and a variety of design products.

Take a look over at the clever lot who developed this material, Milgo Bufkin.
