'''Caviar Sconces''' are sculptural lighting fixtures. They have a body made of small steel particles that resemble caviar. An illuminated lens is affixed to the face and and creates a viewing portal which both magnifies and bends the light to create streaks of color.
'''Shanks''' was a project designed to launch the first Chen-Williams website.

This design is emblematic of [[Chen Chen & Kai Williams]]'s design philosophy. The loose and ornate composition of the "caviar" is uniquely produced via the process. However on the back of the same part is a technically molded form which serves a utilitarian purpose. This shows the duality of the material. The lens further produces an phenomenological occurrence that introduces movement with a still object by bending the light in a way that shifts as the viewer moves around.
