ʻO Nopales he kukui mokulā e hoʻouna pālaha ʻia ana ma ke ʻano he Papa Alanui Uila Paʻi (PCB) a hiki ke hākiʻi māmā ʻia i nā ʻāpana ma ka lima. Ma hope, hoʻopili pū nā ʻāpana hoʻohui a hoʻololi i kekahi panini 3D nani. Me ka hoʻoulu ʻana mai nā ʻāina o Mekiko, hiki ke hoʻopōpili ʻia ka hoʻolālā paʻani ma nā ʻano like ʻole he nui a hiki ke ulu pū ma ka hoʻohui ʻana i nā kāleka he nui. ʻAʻole wale nō e hoʻomalamalama ana kēia Nopal i nā wahi me ka ʻālohilohi mālie, akā hoʻoulu pū i ka pilina pilikino, e kono ana i ka poʻe hoʻohana e lilo i nā mea hoʻokumu hoa ma kā lākou kīhāpai mālamalama ponoʻī.

Nā ʻAno Kūʻokoʻa: Nopales is a modular lamp designed to be playfully assembled from a single Printed Circuit Board. Unlike typical PCBs that are flat and hidden inside enclosures, Nopales subverts this industrial nature to create a delightful object that is meant to be touched, bring joy, and evoke life into our spaces. It can ship flat as a postcard and can be hand assembled into your own nopal. Grow you cactus by combining cards.
Nā Ana a me ka Hoʻopili: Variable dimensions
Flat: 84mmx125mmx5mm
Assembled: 50mm x50mm x100
Nā Lepili: PCB, Lamp, Nopales, Cactus, Modular, Mexico, Art, Garden
ʻEnehana Hana: Printed Circuit Board, LEDs, Microcontroller, CR2032 Battery
Pilikia Hoʻolālā: The project looks deceptively simple but a lot of research has gone into the interlocking connections. Even when PCB manufacturing is a mature industry, there is no way to connect two boards in the ways we were searching for. Current solutions require bulky mechanical components "connectors", or to be solder. We have tried multiple approaches and worked with the PCB manufacturer though iterations. Orienting components in different planes, plating surface edges, special routing, springs, and more.
Hoʻoulu Manaʻo: Nopales was inspired by the landscapes of my Mexican upbringing and our passion for developing creative hardware. We wanted to reframe Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)s beyond their technical existence, to expose the material's beauty and transform it into something tactile, delightful and captivating. We spent months working with manufacturers to create a simple and efficient way to interlock the PCBs both mechanically and electrically. Nopales circuit is designed to shine for months or even years.
Ka Lōʻihi o ka Papahana: The project started early 2023 and exhibited at the HeadHi Lamp show in Brooklyn NY from March until July. A new updated version was shown at PioneerWorks Software For Artists Day in November.
Kaʻina Hana: Nopales starts as a flat PCB that breaks apart by hand and can be interlocked into your own Nopal (cactus), then you can press the button to cycle though multiple brightness levels. It has an auto sleep timer to prevent draining the battery in case you forget to turn it off.
