Manifold: One Metal Sheet of Table

From Wing to Table: The Aileron Credenza

Neat Biodegradable VerTerra Plates
Fused from the remnants of gathered leaves, VerTerra’s biodegradable plates are natural in several design senses. First they are made of natural materials, as the leaves are pressure washed, sanitized in UV light, and then pressed into their forms without using additives.

Light Handed to You On a Platter – The Light Container
With a light bulb cradled casually amidst the curvilinear design of the sculpture, designer Jung Hwa-Jin’s light sculpture, The Light Container, is a clever little accent.

Striking Animated Light Sculpture
An amazing display and particularly strong concept, Aleksandar Rodic and the Gallery12 design team have designed this ever-changing light sculpture from simple foam-core material. However, the “wow”-factor comes from the animations which are rendered through a virtual camera and material to a video projector into the object. What was once a simple and lifeless sculpture [...]
