Carvajal took aesthetic cues from the unique fish to create a spiky, translucent lighting  fixture that creates a series of hypnotic circles when illuminated. Although the design fulfills the traditional role of a lamp, the designer feels that it&#8217;s better suited for decorative purposes than practical ones. Carvajal also envisions his design as the perfect focal point for public spaces such as a hotel lobby, or a design-conscious waiting room.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1
