I would like to see what went into it making it and how it was done. I would also like to see what it looks like in normal light as I generally don't have all my lights off when someone comes to visit or even when I am in my house by myself. Beautiful sculpture though and well done. Sonumbra is by far my favorite piece. I would like to see what went into it making it and how it was done.

Besides, overall savings aren't great anyway, and even if they were, light bulb tax would be better - for governments too. http://www.ceolas.net/#li1x onwards (About the strange EU and industrial politics behind the light bulb ban http://www.ceolas.net/#li1ax ) good illustrations there

I covet it, muchly." Agree, to certain degree... 'Swoon' is a verb... I think you mean, "...full of swooner" ...to which I would then completely agree! >> “The Pieke Bergmans piece is insanely full of swoon. I covet it, muchly.”

Sadly, living in the US I don't have the opportunity to go to festival. However, I'm in love with the tree light in the first image. Is that LED? I would love to try and duplicate that for my own apartment using some LEDs I found in a local store (http://www.saviolighting.com/LED-Lights-s/8.htm) because such a large light will surely generate a lot of heat using other applications. Do you know if the designer used LEDs for his original? Thanks, Joe This is amazing. Sadly, living in the US I don’t have the opportunity to go to festival.
