::LIGHT MOTIF::

LiTraCon is "light transmitting concrete." It reminds me of Ulexite, the "television stone," but it's manmade.

It's got the compressive strength of concrete, but with optical glass fibers running parallel to each other within it. I love the look of concrete in certain interior applications, and this erases the problem of dullness, drawing some amazing design-silhouette possibilities.

The tree shadows? This woman? That hand? They're transmitted through concrete.

I've never had such yearnings for an entire wall of any material before. Mmm, except maybe Aerogel.
