Milan:
FF 2013 – Wonderglass. Wonderglass is a new international company with headquarters
in London and in Venice, dedicated to the production of glass chandeliers. For the
official launch Wonderglass drew upon the time-honored experience of Venetian
master glass-blowers and the contemporary touch offered by artists and
designers of international renown, capable of interpreting the beauty of glass
in a spectacular, innovative manner paired with the most advanced technological
research on lighting. The
Wonderglass products showcased traced an imaginary journey through Venice,
reflections of light are multiplied on the waters of the lagoon, while
unexpected shapes amaze with their intricate creativity.
Above. Zaha Hadid – Swarm: Collaboration Established
& Sons—Wonderglass. The Swarm chandelier is a composition of black crystal
volumes suspended in dynamic forms. The intricately layered spatial composition
of the chandelier presents itself as a unified whole; it does not presuppose any
proportional system, nor does it privilege symmetry.
Wonderglass:
Nao Tamura – Flow(T). The reflections of the Venetian cityscape glistening on
the evening water hints at an imaginary city below the moving surface. There is
a border between the world under and the land above. In the city of Venice,
where the real world and fantasy coexists, this chandelier is the embodiment of
the beauty of dual worlds. Flow[T]
is a contemporary chandelier inspired by the colors of the Venetian
lagoon and customized to the desires of each owner. Each piece enjoys its
own shape, and in multiples, they create a sculptural display of
lighting.
Wonderglass: Nendo – Black Bat: Collaboration Bisazza—Wonderglass. A chandelier reminiscent of a
colony of bats hanging upside-down from a tree branch or the ceiling of a
cave. Evenly spaced glass shades blown by Murano glass artisans enclose
LEDs, and cast their light downwards. Bases can be connected to create a large
colony, or removed to make a smaller one.
