ELI is a centerpiece made of polymethylmethacrylate with a thickness of 3mm. It’s available in 3 different transparent or translucent colors or translucent white. ELI arises from the simple geometry of a square that, starting from a flat form, reaches a developement containing a three-dimensional enveloping movement similar to a "propeller". The triangular sections formed by the breakdown of the square shape, in fact, bends and overlaps like petals. The transparent version creates a play of transparency that emphasize the shapes. If all the pieces are stacked concentrically with the larger sizes, the centerpieces blossoms like a flower creation offering itself to the game of combinations and compositions
