Starting with a rough prototype, a technical process was used to achieve various forms. A 3D CAD software was used to manage the inflation of each bubble in order to reach the best control of how the light would be refracted at diverse angles.

A metal mould was used to create the pendant.Two different variations were blown: sandblasted and transparent.
