Description
The glass lighting piece is made using the technique of hot sculpting, whereby molten glass is gathered from a furnace at the end of a metal rod, manipulated into shape using pincers and a blow hose to form the nodular elements. It results from a fabrication process whereby air voids of different sizes and configurations are composed within a larger mass of dark grey or white opaline glass.
These air pockets are invisible when the piece is unlit, and come alive to reveal an interior universe when 57 is illuminated. By virtue of the method of making, each 57 is completely unique.
This suspensions serie is a sculptural piece emphasizing on organic forms. Therefore, additional illumination in the chosen space may be required. The light structure is suspended using coaxial cable and composed in hexagonal clusters available in 4 configurations on our e-shop. Three to seven pendant fixtures, including an adaptable cable length and round canopy.
57 serie Multi-light suspension is a great example of the extraordinary work of the designer, revealing unique forms and great originality of the final objet, between art and functionality.

The new series of light sculptures named Ambra combines volumes of ancient stones and aluminium. Centerpiece is the Mexican “Toba volcánica” stone that consists of minerals, glass and volcanic debris ejected one million years ago during severe eruptions. Fragments in the geometrical surfaces are testament to these explosions and movement.

The contrast between porous textures and smooth dark red underlines the studios contemporary approach on traditional materials and craft. The connecting components between the sculptural stone elements and the aluminium parts originate from an intensive research of linking unique handmade shapes with industrial parts.
