Random8 takes this one step further however as it reflects and colors the light that both hits it AND passes through it. The 8 clear facets of the chair come alive thanks to the dichroic treatment of the Plexiglas, the chair literally creates its own lighting effects. Random8 shines in every color of the rainbow and changes its colors depending on the ambient light and on the viewing angle.

The chair also reflects colourful shapes on the surrounding walls and floor, thanks to the reflecting properties of the material. It is at once transparent, reflective and colored. Indoors or out, this is an exceptional armchair which changes from morning to night, from season to season or with a simple change in perspective. Random8 is designed by David Lesort and Arnaud Giroud of Pitaya Design and produced in a limited edition of 12 by Gallery Gosserez. Sold online exclusively by Outdoorz Gallery.

Description from the designer:

Drawing the eye with its contemporary lines and seemingly transparent form, Random8 has an additional dimension, it colors the light that passes through it. The 8 clear facets of the chair come alive with the light thanks to the dichroic treatment of the Plexiglas. Random8 shines in every color of the rainbow and changes its color depending on the ambient light and on the viewing angle. The chair also reflects colourful shapes on the surrounding walls and floor, thanks to the reflecting properties of the material.
