It seems like maybe the colors look good in full sunlight but then lose their lustre in the artificial light? Maybe it's a camera issue. But they don't seem to mesh with each other, not quite the right saturation and intensity. I think the color takes a lot away from the light otherwise. I think this design needs a few major revisions, or perhaps to be stolen by someone else and reinterpreted. The color annoys me.

I like it. I like the suggested system of growth and I think as a larger installation it would more clearly display it's architectural qualities and it's potential for creating a dialogue in it's surrounding space. I'm much more interested in the potential of these lights as architectural elements used to generate a space than as products. It does also remind me a bit of Tom Dixon Jack Lamp, lets hope it brings you the same success. I’m interested by this project.

For me, times are changing now because of climate change + financial crisis and the most important problem is the energy :halogen and incandescent lamp will disapear asap pratical vs pratical is the debate here ….I have a Sottsass lamp not pratical and a lot of famous designers products not very pratical.

Nice colours. Probably useless as lights but nice to have around anyway. I quite like it, nice late 70’s italian design feel to it. Nice colours.

What is practical? Is a duck filled platypus practical? Would God have made any creatures if he had thought - "is that big long trunk practical?". It is a question of perspective - an Ocean or sea is a practical resource for obtaining fish, but remains impractical if you happen to want to cross it and have not a boat. Boxer shorts - sure, yah, for men they are practical, but they do not speak to the inner beauty of things. Now consider this - a minimised art of male undergarment, allowing the full expression of the behind when wearing summer casuals. Now talk to me of practical.
