Cris Cofitis, inspired by planet movements, provided his sculptures with the effect of “motion”, through changing positions, shapes and colors, supported by special dedicated multiple direction lighting applications.
His collection has been enhanced in the meantime with custom made motorcycles, scooters and special parts on demand.
