Close up into a real HELIO sphere: the ring of LEDs as a line of points, repeated as rings of gold, blue and violet far into the mirror
Looking into a real HELIO. The rim is retouched: the prototype’s was taped.

What is HELIO?

A ring of light

LEDs run around the equator, where two mirrored domes meet.

Reflections give it depth

The ring repeats inside the shell, so one line of light reads as many.

Colour that moves

Hold one calm colour for the evening, or let it play.
