Butterfly inspired designs - from odd to fantastic and back

Beloved butterfly, when we were kids, we sung about your beauty - since we are grown up, we abstain from singing and switched to creating. We still like you so much that you´re very often involved in designers output.

Putting you on dresses to beat your heartbeat controlled wings might be technically interesting - but when you go to a hot date, it´ll give you for sure a hyper-creepy touch. I´m sorry, beloved butterfly for this kind of abuse. The color changing eco lights…wmauh…we better forget about this plastic cruelty. More butterfly-inspired creations can be seen here. And now, my beloved butterfly, it´s time to intone a song to praise your beauty. Even the greatest idea, the keenest creation and the hippest technical invention can´t get close to your natural beauty.
