The Fabric Light Radiolaria is a series of floor lamps designed by creative II Hoon Roh that replicates the aesthetic of [dripping liquid](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cairn-lamp) as if the process was slowed down to showcase the stretching. The action is replicated using [stretched fabric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/farolito) that provides similar shapes and forms with a bulb placed at the top to create an avant-garde floor lamp for consumers to add to their decor.

Keeping a similar shape to a traditional floor lamp, the Fabric Light Radiolaria has an extremely thin body followed by a disc as the base and a disc acting as a lamp shade. Rather than using solid material such as plastic or metal, the Fabric Light Radiolaria is instead made with a single piece of fabric that is pulled by hand taught to create an expansive, three dimensional shape. The fabric is then held in place though a lamination process.
