By day, the Ti.Galet by Gilles Rivière is a sleek, modern seat that doubles as a table. By night, however, the Ti.Galet goes from mild to wild. One touch, and the interior of the Ti.Galet lights up from within.
Too often, light fixtures are made to look good either in the daytime or at night, but not both. Neon lights often look garish during the day, and bright desktop lighting is too bright and ordinary for night. Gilles Rivière's Ti.Galet, however, looks beautiful at any time.
The Ti.Galet is handmade by Gilles Rivière, and takes several months to make.
