Placed in the "R" restaraunt, this softly-glowing mass with direct light solely washing the tabletop and the adjacent wall. In this way, those gathering at the table would never experience direct glare. The shielding angle would be of great importance in the execution of the design.

To bring the light effect down into the restaurant space below the curved roof. The light fixture design itself eventually became a series of "Möbius" loops, which is a kind of "infinete" surface made of a single strip. In order to achieve such a motion without revealing the embedded light source to those sitting beside it, it incorporate an LED strip that would trace the curved surface.
