Japanese artist Yuko Nishikawa suspends perforated, papier-mache-style lamps from the ceiling to create dream-like compositions in her You See a Sheep project.
The pastel-hued lighting collection, called You See a Sheep, comprises a series of amorphous pendant lights and vases inspired by phantasmagorical concepts.
Each lamp houses a light source inside its hand-crafted ceramic shell, which is suspended from the ceiling by a thin metal wire.

As the Brooklyn-based designer explained, the collection takes inspiration from two books: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and Model T Frankenstein by Hideo Furukawa.
In the first story, the prince asks the narrator to draw him a sheep. Unable to do so, the narrator instead presents him with a drawing of a box, claiming that the sheep he asked for is inside. The opening line of the second story by Furukawa is "You see a goat", suggesting that it is only in our perception that the goat exists.
"Floating objects surround you. You wonder if you too are floating in space, or perhaps in water," said the designer. "Gravity, the horizon, and the edges of the room disappear. You are happy."

Nishikawa makes each lamp by mixing paper fibre with wet clay and turning them into bulbous, hollow shells using a coiling technique, chosen to highlight the uneven surface and irregular shape of each design.
This method sees the artist form the clay into long rolls before building them up by placing them on top...
