This product was made by QisDesign collaborating with the Taiwan National Museum of Marine Biology, which is internationally renown for its preservation of corals. As a result they designed a beautifully sea inspired feature representing the light effect of corals in the water.
It is made by warping planes of technical PMMA (Poly(methyl methacrylate)) plastic into a spherical shape. It relies on the light diffusion down to the edges of the plastic to create the effect.
I like this design because it uses organic shapes with new materials and uses one of the PMMAs properties, hight light transmission, to full advantage. This is in addition to being very aesthetically pleasing and influenced by nature.
