Mirror Cylinder

This piece is an unlit element, a sculptural charm piece.

Glowing Sentiments

The collection is a mix of artistry, tradition, and sentimentality. The lighting en-
semble is composed of hand-blown glass and Meerschaum, a clay mineral excavated and meticulously hand-carved by artisans in Turkey and brass chains. The inspiration for this collection draws from the concept of a charm necklace, where each charm is thoughtfully chosen for its sentimental significance. Much like these cherished personal talismans, each piece in this lighting ensemble possesses its own distinct character and energy, connected by delicate chains that symbolize our interwoven human experiences.
These intricate patterns are crafted using the ancient Murrine technique, which traces
its origins to the Middle East over 4,000 years ago, later revived by Venetian glassmakers
in Murano during the early 15th century. The Murrine technique involves the creation
of colorful patterns within a glass cane rod. These patterns come to life when the rod is
sliced into thin cross-sections. The Murrine are then meticulously arranged in a compact pattern, fused together, and transformed into various forms.

We created Murrine patterns using glass of different transparencies and when we blew
these compact patterns into a globe, we created three-dimensional patterns that are very
dynamic and intriguing. The colors and patterns melded and shifted in opacity, resulting
in a geometry that also seemed painterly. This collection embraces the beauty of skilled
craftsmanship and the timeless allure of reimagining the past through a contemporary lens.
