These intriguing pieces may have captured your eye recently, and chances are, you thought,”What the heck is that?” Well, it is called Algue and it is created by Vitra.

The bits can be composed into whatever form you . This provides a large part of artwork in a spacious, gallery-like space.

Algue works outside also. This makes the view far more interesting and increases the sense of privacy.
