KLAAR
The glass occasional table, Klaar, is a collaboration between
Leolux, Studio Truly Truly and the Dutch Glass Museum in
Leerdam. Klaar adds a new form of craftsmanship to our
collection, which is very close to our hearts. Because there are
many similarities between glassblowing and producing furniture
in the way that Leolux does. Expression plays a significant role
in the product and elements such as technology, teamwork
and experience are essential for both processes.
Nevertheless, glassblowing is a process with a unique character.
It is more explosive, a performance in which function, timing
and precision come together. This is all because of the nature
of the material. Glass is dissolute, it never lets itself be totally
controlled. Under the influence of temperature, heat and
movement, it chooses its own way. And that’s exactly where the
charm lies. Even when you always use the same quantities and
colours, the pattern and colour gradient of each table are unique.
Studio Truly Truly designed three colour schemes for Klaar.
Mottle is really intended as an eye-catcher with multiple distinct
colours. This combination truly feels like a piece of art. The Lapis
version combines dif erent tints of blue. Some are transparent,
while others are not. The result is slightly less complex in terms
of colours, but the transparency ef ect is stunning. Finally,
there’s Nougat, with its natural tints. White, almond, creamy;
for a soft and modest look. But whichever colour you go for, the
transparent glass is the ‘carrier’. There’s a layer of transparent
glass between each layer of colour, so the colours seem to
float. You see that very clearly when you look at the tables from
an angle.
