Feel the Breath of Light
Design revives the delicate beauty of water rippling gently in a soft breeze. The pure and soft light passes through the ripples and spreads across the clear and lustrous surface, seductive and refreshing in its way. By matching the visual and tactile sensations, this design creates a harmonious balance and brings nature and serenity indoors.
Taking one step forward, the project is also an experiment to unlock the potential of light, specifically on light mixing and gradients on luminaires and in space.
