<p>Reminiscent of chochin paper lanterns, nendo created this blown fabric light installation for the Tokyo Fiber ’09 Senseware exhibition. Adopting the same technique that is used in glass blowing, these lights are blown from Smash - a long fiber non-woven polyester that is capable of being manipulated into different forms using a hot press form technology. Smash’s thermoplastic properties allow for the creation of seamless one-piece lanterns that are rip-proof and glow beautifully when illuminated from within.</p>

<p>As in glass blowing, the production of each piece can be interrupted at different intervals – creating completely unique ‘imperfect’ light objects that defy those found in standardized mass production.</p>

<p>LED bulbs in machined, aluminium sockets provide the light source and serve as an anchor to the hollow forms created by the hand blown Smash.</p>

<p>LZF Spain challenged designers to use their proprietary Polywood Veneer to create these spectacular lights for the Light and Nature collection. Full of sumptuous curves, Link is the latest design from Ray Power in an ongoing study of form, repetition and geometry. While the combination of Agatha, a concentric suspension light designed by Luis Eslava Studio, with Totem, a rhythmic column light designed by Dämmer & Calvo, creates one incredible light sculpture installation. All lights are all available in a variety of wood veneers.</p>
