The natural flexibility of the furniture linoleum allows for a subtle light effect on the material. The interaction of the light and material ask for interaction with the viewer and a closer look. 

What do I see, is it a pattern or a shape? By combining the techniques of laser engraving and vacuum pressing this light play can be enhanced and used for optical illusions. The flexible quality of the linoleum is frozen by the embossing effect of the vacuum press, changing it to a fixed shape.
