Light is the most fertile field for experiments. He himself is so spectacular and spectacular that, it seems, when the designer comes up with a new chandelier or desk lamp, luck is already guaranteed. Perhaps this assumption is nothing more than an illusion. But light is illusion itself! English designers Neil Masson and Lois Mutton (studio OYL) have created a wonderful collection. Looking at these things, you are convinced that the wonders of the world are not seven, and not even eight, but much more. Neil and Lois are recent graduates of the famous Royal College of Art. London Royal College of Art - the place where the most modern ideas and the latest trends ferment. Perhaps it is these features that characterize the collection of the studio OYL itself. It is fashionable with all its apparent simplicity. For example, Neil and Lois weave their glowing objects from ... plastic tubes! Imagine a flickering "network" hanging on the wall or between rooms, moving shadows on the background of a multi-colored canopy ... Such a "scenic" interior is a ready-made entourage for shooting a music video. Studio OYL has a direct relationship and ... to fashionable clothes. At the London High Fashion show, the top model literally acted in fashionable light: the designers of light, in collaboration with fashion designer Philippe Tracy, created a shining robe for her.
