iLLuminite is a cool collection of decorative night lights by Amit Sturlesi. Amit uses a unique (and pretty cool) process to make them. I visited his studio in old Jaffa and got a full tour of the place - all documented in pictures - so you can enjoy as well!
Let's get started with some really cool lamps, following my visit to where the magic happens.

1. It starts with a sketch
Amit uses the ol' pen and paper to design his model.
2. Computerizing
He later takes that sketch and translates it to a 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional models in his computer.
3. Laser Engraving
Amit uses a laser engraving technique to create his model on the acrylic glass.
4. Prototyping
Amit has a 3D printer in his studio. He uses it to prepare the master base for silicone mold which holds the concrete model.
5. Concrete Base
When the master mold is ready, he fills it up with concrete according to the design
And add a little color
And... Voilà!
