You See a Sheep - Al-Fah
You See a Sheep - Al-Fah
Floating objects surround you. You wonder if you too are floating in space, or perhaps in water. Gravity, the horizon, and the edges of the room disappear. You are happy.
You See a Sheep is a lighting collection that uses hand-built ceramic shells to house the light source and steel suspension cable to make them appear to be floating in space. A mysterious warm glow is revealed through the holes against the interior’s dry paper-like surface.
Single, double and multiple shells can be installed with single ceramic canopy housing wire connections. Larger compositions with multiple shells can be designed specific to an installation site.
