Ceiling Light, Wall Light
There were a number of mannequins carelessly chucked in a garden of some mannequin maker company. They ended their original function as mannequins. So there was no need to use them any more.The arm parts of those mannequins reminded me a Buddhism god of war, ‘Ashura’. ‘Ashura’ has six arms and three interchangeable faces. He inspired me to design two new pieces of lighting furniture, recycling them.This ancient god met a modern lighting project and eco concept. Now they have turned to be completely different and got reborn with a lighting function.
