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.

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.
