Transmaterial

LitraCube

Remember Light-Transmitting Concrete? Áron Losonczi, the Hungarian inventor of the fiber-optic embedded blocks, has developed a light fixture called LitraCube which utilizes four interlocking panels of the material.

As promised when the material was first developed, a wall made of “LitraCon” allegedly has the strength of traditional concrete but thanks to an embedded array of glass fibers can display a view of the outside world, such as the silhouette of a tree, for example.

“Thousands of optical glass fibers form a matrix and run parallel to each other between the two main surfaces of every block,” explained its inventor Áron Losonczi. “Shadows on the lighter side will appear with sharp outlines on the darker one. Even the colours remain the same. This special effect creates the general impression that the thickness and weight of a concrete wall will disappear.”

For just 595 Euros for LitraCube, you can claim you have built your own "structure" out of LiTraCon.
