Rain by ilanel

Melbourne-based ilanel design studio takes inspiration from rain drops for its newest design.

November 2nd, 2011

The concept behind Rain is illuminating: a multi-sensory experience of sight and sound that invites touch and interaction.

Rain captures the shimmery sparkle of raindrops frozen in descent and voices a whimsy chime of flutes.

Individual drops are visually quite subtle, but gain tremendous strength when multiplied and clustered in large groups.

It is a playful piece with the sleekness of a design classic that is suitable for residential and commercial use.
