Product description    
The design is made of a postformed plastic interior provided with a translucent wood veneer topping, lighted by a single-ended compact fluorescent lamp. The singular architectural form makes it a modest marker in the contemporary domestic landscape. The size of the container (nine different ones in total) reflects the formation and shape of the used components. The mutant simplicity is shown after being switched on; the apparently solid block turns out to be the cover of an advanced luminary. This way it obtains its own place in a world in which nothing seems to be what it is.
