The absence of a frame, perfectly holds the shape. Made of polypropylene foam. The material is used in construction, fireproof. The object can be used both with internal LED lighting on batteries and from the power. The project was developed specifically for the exhibition, it is possible to create a light installation of 10-15 objects (30 – 120 cm height). Objects are not tied to the power, so any location is possible. This lamp gives a soft light, it is plastic, due to this it invite the person to communicate with themselves. ISOLON is an ideal diffuser. The material emphasizes the similarity with sea foam, with enchanting jellyfish, with lotus flowers, which served as inspiration for the creation of the project.
