This project started with a remarkable assignment: make a lamp with an interesting effect. Make use of a cube with outer dimensions of 200 x 200 x 200 mm.
Obviously Magneto is a cube shaped lamp. The lamp consists of three equal pyramid shapes. Each pyramid contains magnets that, when the pyramids are put together, create an electric circuit that powers the lights inside the pyramids.
A magnet is something or someone that attracts people or things (Merriam-webster.com, 2017). Magneto attracts people to interact with it.
