nebula
By Claesson Koivisto Rune · For Lasvit
Contexto
Launched in April 2024 during Milan Design Week
“The Nebula collection is crafted with an expressive and organic form. At the heart of each piece lies a diffusing glass lens, ingeniously designed to transmit light upwards towards a mirror-like, metalized crystal glass reflector. This gradient effect gives the collection an otherworldly presence, while its reflective dome dynamically mirrors its surroundings, adding an ever-changing character to the piece. The use of borosilicate glass, shaped into a bulb and treated with the metal plating technology, ensures that each lighting fixture remains an aesthetically pleasing object, even when unlit.” - Lasvit
Proceso
The project was one of 12 that was presented to Lasvit and only one of 2 that was chosen for further development. I was tasked with producing relevant 2D and 3D materials for this specific product from the beginning. We wanted to achieve the effect of the light bouncing of from the metallic coating of the glass. This required much research in the form of prototyping and testing but also research in material and light theory. I was the primary contact person between the studio and Lasvit during the development of this project.
