When Alex Woogmaster began working on designing the Delphi
collection, he wanted to arrive at a design that felt clean, timeless
and true. The collection is inspired by the myths and legends of
the ancient Oracle of Delphi, and each piece needed to have an
almost mystical quality, glowing from an almost primitively classical
basin silhouette—made of hand formed or blown glass—set within
a silhouette whose form above all, emphasizes purity. There is
something deeply peaceful and reassuring to Alex about the concept
of knowledge, and while these fi xtures don’t necessarily reveal truths,
we hope that the light they shed can, metaphorically speaking, help
bring the light of truth into our lives. At the very least, these fi xtures
are meant to bring a contemplative serenity and clarity to our world.
