Pretty Everyday Things

Challenge #58 in the Language Of Light series. Hosted by Deleted pending purge.

Challenge has finished

This Challenge is about things we see every day, and hardly ever think about how beautiful these are! Consider coffee cups, tools, furniture, cutlery... all deceivingly simple, but someone somewhere produced all this, striving to make it useful AND nicely shaped! So let's look at our "everyday things" again, but from purely aesthetic point of view. PLEASE mind all the rules!
