created for spanish lighting brand arturo alvarez, 'holes' by netherlands-based designer bertjan pot,
is a hanging lamp whose form draws on kites and mathematical geometry. on show at milan design week 2011,
the lighting object made-up of 20 triangles of Tyvek® - a non woven material made from polyethylene fibers - 
with a structural composition consisting of 30 bars and 12 connectors. 57 holes have been punched
through its skin, allowing beams of light to escape from the polyhedron. the use of Tyvek® makes
the lamp lightweight, waterproof, with a high tear resistance and completely recyclable.



57 holes cut into the lamp's skin allow light to escape from within
