Saulux

Saulux
SPLACES.STUDIO (Malta)  
Location: Fountain Plaza, South Beach Avenue Level 1  

Saulux reveals the invisible currents that surround us daily. As wind moves through this dense field of willow twigs, the stems respond with light — a warm glow at 2200K, the corresponding colour temperature of warm, natural sunlight. The name itself tells this story: saule (willow) meets lux (light).

At the centre of this artificial grove sits a weatherproof case housing a microcomputer. Sensors detect the movement of each twig in the breeze, and a neural network processes these signals into patterns of light and sound. Like the natural world itself, no two moments produce identical configurations.

Saulux both represents nature and responds to it, highlighting the magic found in the everyday. It is an invitation for all to pause and connect with nature in a profoundly new and beautiful way.
