Tear down your walls

Anyone who has spent a significant period of time either living in a small windowless apartment or tripping through the galaxy on a mind bender may have at one point felt the urge to tear a hole in the wall to let some light in. Judging by this concept, designer Billy May almost surely has. His Torn Lighting is perfectly disguised on your wall while hiding it’s LED secrets from view. The result is the rather impressive illusion sure to leave your guests bemused, provided you paint it to match your walls of course.

If I didn’t live in a rented apartment I would be all over this. Beautiful idea.

you have to paint it to match the walls… I’m sure professional installation is advised to make the most of it.

It wouldn’t be something you would buy, but rather have a contractor do. Its easy, just have them wireup the LED’s, and have a seamless plastered opening - just make sure that the area where the plaster opening starts isn’t noticed or else it will not look like a ‘tear’.
