TreasuresUntoldis the new chapter of the “Pillars of Meerschaum” Collection, born out of a fascination of mythical stories about mermaids, shipwrecks andtreasurehunts, and Feyza Kemahlioglu’s deeply rooted connection to the Aegean Sea.
Envisioning a mystical underwater archaeological site, formed by columns of intricately hand-carved Meerschaum, and hand-blown glass that has the colors, textures and remnants of the Sea, the collection takes you through the experience of exploring underwater and the mystery of whattreasuresyou will find.
The Pillars are composed of glass globes shaped by hand to resemble rocks, full of texture and patterns made by colored glass frit and crystals. For the 11 ft long Pillar “The Gem”, the colors shift from white to turquoise to a darker hue of lagoon, to take you through the steps of diving into the divine Sea. The white globes with small crystals encrusted on it resemble seafoam, and waves crashing onto the sand. The turquoise and lagoon pieces with swirls, speckles, Barnacles and Sea Flowers stuck on the globes take you under the Sea, where you examine coral reefs, finding seashells, colorful fish and even a ship rope tangled around a giant rock. The glass “boulder” placed under the fixture is a continuation of the pendant, creating a visual break reminiscent of broken down ruins.
All pieces are fitted with 2700K Super White Dimmable LEDs unless specified otherwise. The LEDs are covered with an acrylic opaque white tube that fits inside glass globes. Fixtures require transformers to be placed in ceiling/wall or remote location.
Meerschaum pieces come in parts that fit into each other. A clear acrylic tube fits inside Meerschaum parts to hold them together. Meerschaum is a soft clay material and is hand-carved. There can be variations in color and needs to be handled with care.
