How bad ass are these items? Okay, it’s maybe a bit hard to tell what these are at first glance, so I’ll add a bit of description: These are vases where the designers have woven an electro luminescent (EL) wire around a ceramic vessel. EL wire is a low light emitting wire used in the making of signage, traditionally. However, Wong and Saw, have skillfully adapted the wire to the shape of a vase. I must admit, when I saw this project I was surprised that the concept hadn’t passed my way before since it was originally conceived in 2002. When I found this out, it made me wonder if anyone else was experimenting with this EL wire, and why I hadn’t seen more design objects experiment with the material. If any of you know where I can get some of this, and what it’s properties are, it would be greatly appreciated.

Am curious about your luminescent chaise longue as found in the book Transparent.
Where is it sold?
What is the cost?
Thank you.
Your work is cool.
Your web site as well.
