“Light Butterflies” by Chiara Lampugnani Design

I just love the concept of this instillation, it makes me think of the old saying that reminds us to stop and take time to smell the roses. 

“Light Butterflies” by Chiara Lampugnani Design is an innovative project displayed in Paolo Sarpi Street and Canonica Street in Milan as part of the the Milan International Led Light Festival held from 4 December 2010 until 10 January 2011. The official press release reads: Inspired by the Butterflies Oasis based in Palestro Street in Milan, the light butterflies by Chiara Lampugnani are an homage to the beauty of Nature through the splendor and magic of light. A message to the city of Milan which is always in a hurry so that it may stop and think about the simple things of life through the eyes of a child. We salute this uncommon project and we consider it to be a great idea of urban regeneration that could be applied in different cities in order to bring streets and neighborhoods back to life.
