OVERLAY
Modern yet timeless. Extravagant in its
style and use of clean geometric forms.
Inspired by architecture. The Overlay
collection arose from a synthesis of various
materials on mood boards during a creative
process that involved seeking ideas and
associations between art and design,
overlaying different textures, and playing
with volumes. The blown transparent
glass tubes instil the Overlay collection
with a distinctive character, as does
the unique concrete fixture embedded
with shards of upcycled glass from Janštejn
Glassworks. The piece is cast in different
rectangular volumes specifically for each
type of light capable of accommodating
both simple and multiple assemblies for
a remarkable degree of versatility. Cradled
within the concrete fixture is a delicate
sleeve of either frosted or clear glass,
its centreline struck by a light tube that
seemingly levitates within. The typology of
the Overlay collection comprises horizontal
pendant variants, table lights, and wall
lights that open the door to a new realm
of possibilities in lighting art.
