Firefly Field

Firefly Field

Anne Frankplatsoen

A swarm of glowing fireflies. When you encounter them, you cannot help but stop in your tracks. It feels like a small miracle: bright, flickering dots of light in the dark of night. And in many ways, it truly is a miracle: even scientists have yet to unravel all the mysteries of fireflies.

While experimenting, Studio Toer discovered a composition of light and technology that naturally echoed the movement of fireflies. From this spark of curiosity, Firefly Field was born: an installation that playfully recreates a mesmerizing swarm of these fascinating creatures. With specially designed LED lights, the collective creates floating, fluttering, glowing points of light that together form a captivating spectacle.

The installation brings these artificial night creatures to life, inviting viewers to step into a magical moment. Reflections across the sloping grass amplify the scene, transforming the park into a dreamlike landscape. And when the dream fades, one feeling lingers: a light, even lovestruck sensation that stays with you long after. Will you let yourself be enchanted?

Studio Toer

Studio Toer is a multidisciplinary design collective based in Eindhoven. Founded in 2011 by Castor Bours and Wouter Widdershoven, the studio has since created an impressive body of work for renowned international festivals, including Vivid in Sydney, Fête des Lumières in Lyon, and i Light Singapore. Their connection with Eindhoven remains strong, with numerous light artworks created for GLOW. Their work is often playful and seemingly simple, yet rich with depth. With backgrounds in art and interactive design, and a highly explorative and experimental approach, Studio Toer continually pushes both the aesthetic and technical boundaries of design. The result: playful expressions of art and experience, ranging from light installations to objects and innovative products.
