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.
Niels van Eijk & Miriam van der lubb’s lump, “Bobbin Lace Lamp”. The glass fiber material is knitted like bobbin lace. It has no bulb, light run through the glass fiber shape of lamp shade. It is such fantastic fragile light on the fringe.
“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.
