Utilizing refracted light from the prisms and the principle of colorful kaleidoscopes, an enchanted world was projected through the application of sparkling, translucent materials such as glass and crystals, mysterious Turkish blue and intriguing azure of the marble. The living space created with mirrors and glass stimulated inspiration about home. The refraction of light and the reflection of shadows painted the space, while glass, crystals and mirrors set the stage.
