Blur by Big-game

Brussels designers Big-game have created a collection of objects with graduated patterns applied to their surfaces that make them appear blurry.

Called Blur, the range includes low tables, mirrors, lamps and a vase decorated with the silkscreen-printed pattern.

"Erasing bits of reality, the series is composed of meticulously materialized objects celebrating the disappearance of materiality," say the designers.

Here, it becomes a glowing shape in frosted white glass that illuminates its surroundings rather than shows its content. As if the fetish had vanished into smoke.
