Eye See You lamps for Louis Vuitton and the 121Ethiopia foundation
Commissioned by Louis Vuitton, about four hundred deliberately low-tech lamps — a monofrequency light source and a parabolic mirror — are installed in the stores' Christmas windows, while a lamp titled You See Me goes on permanent display at Louis Vuitton Fifth Avenue in New York. All fees are donated to 121Ethiopia.org, a charitable foundation he initially established with his wife to renovate an orphanage.
