TECHNOLOGY HOMEFRONT now! shine time! The Changeling Bespoke lighting has gone to the next level. Take Gleam, a highly customizable chandelier that allows for ambient variance and functional latitude. In layman’s terms? With a click of a remote, the chandelier’s six arms can widen or bend, cluster or radiate, depending on the mood. Brooklyn-based design duo Jessica Banks and Andrew Laska of fresh-on-the-scene RockPaperRobot are creating “kinetic furniture” that can be manipulated to your liking. In its chrome form, Gleam resembles something out of Terminator. Built to your specs, it can accommodate any aesthetic. Want rustic chic? T e mechanical chrome legs can be embedded into wood.
