Light Lights Series

The design of Light Lights is to reconstruct the beauty of traditional shape with fragmented pieces by using computational parametric modeling methods. The ceramic material of the pods is replaced with translucent acrylic and covers the LED light bulbs to create soft illumination. It makes people wonder if it really is a flower pot or a lamp, and creates infinite imagination at night.
