New Trend Bubbling Up

A friend of mine, who has a bit of an inside scoop on design, recently sent me Oly Studio's latest light fixture. It's the Muriel Chandelier made from cast resin. "Bubble Lights" aren't anything new to design, but this is the first one I've seen that has an iridescent look to it. I bet it's really pretty when lit. (Too bad we can't quite see that from the picture.) The variation in the size of each bubble is also unique. Most other bubble fixtures have a uniform size to each bubble. It almost looks more like a cluster of grapes.

And then I was over at pinterest and spotted these bubble tiles. (These were all sourced through EVIT, an Italian tile company.)

So, what do you think... are bubbles for you?
