London designers Studio Glithero present an installation of 1000 tiles decorated with photosensitive prints at VIVID Gallery in Rotterdam.
Part of the designers' ongoing Blueware project, the tiles are impregnated with a photo-sensitive substance that turns blue when exposed to light.
Plants are used to mask areas while the transformation takes place, leaving a white print behind.
Studio Glithero also present vases made with the same process and tables cast from plaster at the exhibition, which continues until 7 November.

The information below is from Studio Glithero:
Glithero (Sarah van Gameren and Tim Simpson) are happy to announce that the exhibition in VIVID is extended with 2 weeks and now runs until November 7th, 2010.
Glithero is the first design studio to exhibit work in Rotterdam’s new VIVID Gallery space. The highlight of this exhibition is a big Blueware wall piece, comprised of almost one thousand tiles with blue photosensitive-prints of plants, made specifically for the space.
As well as the Blueware collection Glithero also present the new 'Running Mould' tables based on the artisan craft of cornice making. It is exhibited as follow up of the performative design installation made for Z33 in Belgium.
