Gaining inspiration from our origins of metal-spinning techniques, we have created a plate of "water ripples". The greenery comes from the designer Takaya, who as a distinguished flower headdress artist. What results is a beautiful and delicate figure resembling a natural plant. The light of the LED illuminates the greenery thus creating shadows like sunbeams filtering down through trees on the ceiling and space, and by combining different fixtures of small, medium, and large sizes, it creates beautiful and calm atmosphere.

Artificial flowers sprout from water ripples and shoot up to the sky as tree roots sink deep into the earth resulting in an expression of a new kind of light.
Takaya commenced his activities in Kyoto in 2004 as a "Hanayuishi"(flower headdress artist), a new and unique form of art. He seeks to connect people and flowers, and has rapidly gained attention by using his original technique of artistic hair dressing to create unique headdresses with fresh flowers. He caught the attention of the well-known bridal fashion designer Yumi Katsura, and in 2010, she called on him to participate in her YUMI KATSURA GRAND COLLECTION. Following this, he then worked his magic in the Tsuyoshi Domoto, a Japanese renowned singer, album "Shamanippon-Roinochinoi". Thereafter, he has continued his artistry by "decorating the heads" of many celebrities of the entertainment industry. Takaya has attracted much attention from the foreign media, including UK's The Daily Telegraph.
