a cup of light

This is something everyone has to see. I was completely stunned when I first saw it and couldn’t believe what I was seeing. I would love to have this design concept in my room at night. 
Who’s the genius on this piece? Designer Wonsik Chae from South Korea has created ‘lighting tea bag’, light which imitates the form of a tea bag. Sounds hard to believe right? Watch the video above to see for yourself. 
How does it work?  A cup is filled with a chemical intermediate and a bag containing fluorescent molecules the light works through a catalyst of this chemical reaction. 
Need more information to believe it? Chae’s website has features of all his designs, here is the link for the lighting tea bag where you can view step-by-step images.
