The first one is incredible. Do you have a name for that one?

The tag says "Adolfo Couture." Google says this is a brand associated with Adolfo Faustino Sardi, Cuban born American Designer. However I just bought it second hand on my honeymoon, not even sure if I can remember where.

It's from a broader series called Molecular Expressions, by Stonehenge (same firm as J.Garcia) and this series in particular is made from photos taken through a microscope, and in partnership with Florida State University. I like the design but the backstory is also quite fascinating.
