Every day, no matter what else is going on around the world, artists are thinking of new ways to express beauty.
Henry Grabar writes an Atlantic Cities “postcard” about two Belgian designers’ insight that plates lit from the inside could make something wonderful out of discards — while saving a tree from being cut down for Christmas.
The resulting “tree” of broken cups and plates glows ethereally and was selected for display in the town square of Hasselt, Belgium.
” ‘We decorated the tree with objects which would otherwise have remained invisible,’ MOOZ designers Inge Vanluyd and Stefan Vanbergen wrote in their DesignBoom submission.” Not just invisible, I would add, but thought to be useless.
