The ‘Ombre Chinoise’ as curious as it sounds, does something uniquely pleasant. It “materializes notifications”. In a world where we need an app to remind us to eat, sleep, exercise, and even stand (yes, Apple Watch, I’m talking to you), the Ombre Chinoise is just a simple vessel in which you can keep items/reminders. The vessel then lights up, reminding you of the item/task within. It could be a note, bill, your keys, or even your phone. Let the bulb in the Ombre Chinoise illuminate that bulb in your brain!
