Sand Bowl, by Leetal Rivlin

Desert storm lamp, by Nir Meiri

The “Desert Storm” lamp by Tel Aviv designer Nir Meiri is a delicate and elegant representation of the intricate nature of a desert with its light shades of molded sand. I can almost feel the warm sand under my toes when I look upon the unbound aura seen within this delightful design.

These vases made of sand are shaped according to the principles of an old Japanese game. The game, called Bou-Toshi, begins as a mound of sand with a pole jammed in the centre. Players take turns removing sand until the pole eventually loses stability and collapses. Yukihiro Kaneuchi swaps the traditional pole for a glass tube and embalms the heap in resin to prevent the grains of sand from scattering away, so that the vases appear to be on the brink of disintegration.
