Studio.Oong’s Chandelier, from its new Reflections from the Other World collection, is a wonder: luminous, bubbling shapes, inspired by nature – but maybe not Earth’s nature. It looks borrowed from a fairy tale, but not the formal, regal castles of a Disney princess – instead, it walks the line between fantasy and interstellar whimsy. One minute, the forms might remind you of animals, the next of planets.

Thomas Edison once said “Vision without execution is hallucination.” This statement applies not just to invention, but to graphic design. One of the greatest strengths of graphic designers is the ability to first develop a concept and then execute it to make it real. From visualization and ideation all the way through to actuation and execution, each step of this process takes skill and expertise.
