The World's First "AIRIUM" Holographic Display
"LUCIS"
The world's first "AIRIUM" holographic display is a next-generation interior display that uses patented special glass polarizing plates to create beautiful spheres of light in mid-air.
Currently exhibited at the entrance of Cassina ixc. Aoyama Flagship Store, "AIRIUM-SNOW-" is inspired by a "light snow globe," where a three-dimensional "snow of light" appears to float as you gaze at its flat surface.
Furthermore, by holding your hand at a point in front of the dome, the snow intensifies and dances, and in sync with this change, light snow appears to fall on the sparkling champagne glass tree in the background.
Also on display is Matsuo's new lighting object "LUCIS," where the iridescent prism created by Japan's "Miura fold" technology invites you into a sparkling world along with "AIRIUM-SNOW-".
