A light installation by designer Bruce Munro will be exhibited at the Eden Project in Cornwall this winter. Using 6,000 acrylic tubes containing optical fibers, Munro has created a field of light which will illuminate its natural surroundings with a spectrum of colour. He came up with the concept whilst traveling through the red desert in Australia, where he was inspired by the spectacular blooming of dormant seeds amidst the barren desert landscape. The installation will be displayed from November till Spring next year.
