Gulp by Tim Fishlock
British designer Tim Fishlock has created Gulp.
Tim says:
Gulp is three thousand translucent drinking straws interwoven to form a dense, spherical lampshade. Made from one continuous length of interconnected straws, you could – if you possessed Dyson-like suction – put one end in a drink and gulp it down through the other. Each piece takes seven days to make and is made to order.

Nice, but I think this is totally inspired from Boris Achour works, I have found only one picture, but I had seen big balls of drinking straws in Fiac. So it’s known enough, so it’s inspiring. Do you think they made it together ?
