Bloom is a simple pendant light that is inspired by a little flower coming into bloom.

By using the translucent PMMA, coated with a thin mirror layer, it has a beautiful contrast between transmitted light and reflected light. The lamp is made by assembling eight elements like petals.

Momo is a table lamp inspired by a flying squirrel. (The Japanese name is “Momonga”)

This lamp is characterized by a form similar to a parachute, reminding the flying squirrel; it is composed by eight pieces made of PMMA half mirror material.

The production process is very simple. The PMMA is firstly cutted in eight pieces by a laser machine, then the pieces are bended and assembled into one lamp.

Milk Crown Mirror is a three-dimensional mirror that represents a dramatic moment. This mirror reflects scenery gently and it is designed as a piece of art. It is very light and made of acrylic material that is hard to broken and easy to handle.
