Designer Liora Manné, found a way to combine colorful acrylic fibers managing to create a flat techno  feel of saturated hues and intricate patterns. In this particularly model the designer focused on obtaining orange, black, yellow, gray or silver-tone letter. By using letters that varies in shape, font, style, color and so on, the entire piece looks like a really funny ransom note, like the ones used by amateur stalkers or as we’ve seen in movies, serial killers sending messages to their victims, announcing them that they are going to be next.
