The urchin softlight has a unique character that is irresistible, inviting playful interaction. The three-dimensional geometry of the urchin will morph through a multitude of forms as you rotate it through and around its own centre with your hands. The elastic movement and shifting organic form are akin to sea creatures and the pieces feel almost alive…with a little imagination.

softlighting belongs to molo’s innovative and award winning “soft” collection of expandable / compressible furniture and space partitions created from flexible honeycomb. The soft concept began with a desire for flexible, sculptural space making that could adapt any single space into many different types of environments.

* The urchin softlight is for indoor / dry use only
