We dedicate this book to the students and professors who participated in this lamp design project inspired by The Little Prince and in particular to the student Sofía Cortés Alzate, who left behind a glimmer of light as lovely and delicate as the stars and confirmed with her parting that “what is essential is invisible to the eye”
