A ball made from air wrapped in liquid is called

”awa“ in Japanese. This design sprung from

the idea of creating lighting that looks like soft

glass which has retained its shape after being

inflated. I hope it gives the impression of seeing

a ball of air floating when you look up. Another

characteristic of this design is that its wood and

metal parts look made of glass, as if they were

stoppers (corks) for the air.
