Overview

We would like to see designs that would provide the maximum quality of light using as few materials as possible.

Description
'In Search of the Way of Light Maximum Light with Minimum Material'
In this age of the 21st century, the effective use of the earth's limited resources is a critical issue.
The quality of light includes not only the amount of light but also the elements that foster people's minds such as emotions and a sense of affluence as well as enjoyment and appreciation of having a light.
In producing your design, please try creating a new form of light instead of just concentrating on ideas.
