Aqua Creations Ltd’ s ”Blondie Eee” is a hand-made brown light covered with original India organic silk “Golden Mist”. It radiates a soft light and seems like a living thing. The silk covered glass is very thin, the growing small ball. It is like a jelly-fish sticking to the celling with 6tentacles.

“Grand Illusion” by ESSEY ApS. The designer came up with the idea when he passed a café. The work expresses perfectly the acrylic resin tablecloth. The reflection of light in the acrylic represents a kind of softness of the cloth. Upon seeing it for the first time, the craftsman said “That reflection is impossible!”, but he reflected “Illusive”excellently.
