In a T-restaurant in Peking (China), Mr. Lens was eating at an immense mirror
table with candles hanging above him. It was cozy, romantic, but also streamlined
and modern. For another design we already experimented with hanging led-lights
suspended from low charged wires. We marveled at the vision of a completely
accidental, out-of-the box combination of a led underneath a burning candle. The
effect of the translucent candle-emulsion was also heartwarming. The apparition
of a led fixture, burning, not at all kitschy, with light shimmering through the
material structure is imprinted in our minds. “The led is on fire”, we tried it out.
