Video: Austrian designers create light-up wood veneer for aerospace interiors

Lightshifter, created by Austrian designers F/LIST, is a material concept that allows wood veneer to become a light source at the touch of a button. When activated, the wooden surface is transformed into a stage for light displays that lend depth and dimension to a flat surface. When the light is no longer required, the veneer returns to its original state - without leaving any visible traces.
