Corolla | Abstract Corolla is a dynamic product that blends with its surroundings. It is a physical representation of their relationship and does not stand out as a digital device. It changes its configuration as per the physical and digital connection between the people involved. Corolla, due to its design, can be used either as a flower vase, or a penstand, or a luminaire for floor lights or just a simple sculpture in your room drawing the attention of the people in the room.
