14
14 is an articulated, castglass sphere with a frosted
cylindrical void that houses
either a low-voltage xenon
or LED lamp. Individual
pendants are visually subtle,
but gain an atmosphericquality when multiplied andclustered in groups.

16
16 is formed by sequentiallypouring three separate layersof molten glass – in varying
opacities – on a horizontal
plane. Each layer responds
to the indeterminate shapeof the previous pour tocreate a uniquely layeredwhole. Two of these pieces
are then attached andilluminated with an internal
LED lamp. The 16 series isavailable in 4 colours.

21 results from a fabrication
process in which thinporcelain sheets are draped
over an inverted diffusermade of sandblasted
borosilicate glass. The thinporcelain skin is allowed todress the borosilicate corein whatever form occurs
naturally – creating a uniqueshape in every iteration of
the fabrication process.

38 pushes the fabrication
technique originallydeveloped for 28 to its
technical and material
limits. A large glass sphereis blown with a multitudeof haphazard interior
cavities, which intersect andcollide with each other in
unpredictable ways.

Each 44 results from a freepour of molten aluminium
into a large canister ﬁlled withrock-like modules of resinimpregnated sand, a waste
product of conventional sandcasting. Low voltage electricity
is transmitted through thecastings, allowing a light source
to be suspended between
them without using cables.

57 results from a fabrication
process whereby air voids ofdifferent sizes and conﬁgurations
are composed within a larger
mass of dark grey or white
opaline glass. These air pockets
are invisible when the piece isunlit, and come alive to reveal
an interior universe when 57
is illuminated. By virtue of themethod of making, each 57 iscompletely unique.

positioned to ﬁll the resulting
volume with diffuse light,
accentuating the volumetricperception of the piece.

73V is an expansion of thetechnique used to create
Bocci’s popular 73 series.
The new pendant features
a novel oblong shape andgradient colour range. 73V
results from blowing molten
glass into a folded, heatresistant ceramic fabric. The
resulting shape has a formal
and textural expression
intuitively associated withfabric, which becomespermanent as it cools. A
light source is positioned
at the top of each pendant,
accentuating the volumetricperception of the piece aswell as the gradation ofcolour.

74 is a new LED spotlighting
system designed as analternative to conventional
track lighting. The spotlights
are housed inside articulated
mirrored spheres that are
afﬁxed with a magnet, allowing
maximum control over theemitted cone of light. Low
voltage electricity passes
through delicate coaxial cables
freely composed in three–dimensional space, with theadjustable spheres located atcertain intersections.

A white glass moil is
captured inside a ﬁne copper
mesh basket and thenplunged into hot clear glass.
Air is blown into the matrix togently push the white glass
through the mesh, creating adelicate pillowed form that issuspended inside the thickouter layer of clear glass.
Sometimes the copper
mesh basket folds andcrinkles, adding speciﬁcity
to each piece. Undulationsin the exterior shape area natural consequence ofthe fabrication process andaccentuate the gentle white

casting a warm coppery hue.

Soda water is used to trap air
in a super heated glass matrix,
which is vertically stretchedand folded back onto itself
between pegs numerous times.
As the glass cools, the folding
motion along the grain of theloop turns the entrapped air
into microﬁlaments that givethe piece a pearlescent opticalquality. A low-voltage xenon or
LED light source is introduced at
one end of the loop casting lightthrough the microﬁlaments andregistering a gentle gradient.

19.2

Overspill Brass Vessel
19.2 is an exploration of sandcasting technique where agenerous and unpredictableoverspill is encouraged at therim of each piece, making each
iteration completely unique.
The overspill oxidizes instantly
producing a highly textured
surface that stands in contrast
to the interior of the piece,
which is hand-polished to anear mirror ﬁnish.

Polygon Glassware
31.3 is a group of 41, 18, or 8
individual glass elements designed
to be arranged into compositions.
The departure points for theproject are twofold: a mathematicalquery into geometric tiling on theone hand, and the investigation ofancient colour formulas in Czech
glassmaking on the other.

64

Beeswax Candles
64 is a project in which the solid andliquid states of wax and water areorganized into a kind of choreography.
Molten beeswax is allowed to coolaround a wick inside a centrifugal
chamber ﬁlled with shards of ice,
creating a very delicate radial ﬁligreeof wax tendrils. Transportation of thisdelicate artifact is near impossible,
so the candle is cast into a protective
cube of ice that is allowed to melt only
once the candle has reached its ﬁnal
destination. Thus, the act of burning
the candle becomes but one of many
chapters in the ritual of its making,transport, and eventual disintegration.

84.2

Copper Mesh Glass Vase84.2 is created by suspending a bubbleof white or coloured glass within a ﬁnecopper mesh basket that is then plunged
into hot clear glass. Air is blown into
the matrix to gently push the whiteor coloured glass through the mesh,creating a delicate pillowed form that
rests inside the thick outer layer ofclear glass. Undulations in the exterior
shape are a natural consequence of thefabrication process and differ in each
iteration of the procedure. The apertureis ﬂ ared open, cut and ﬁnished, allowing
the piece to function as a vase, andexpressing the unique and speciﬁc outlineof the copper mesh along the perimeter.

Hanger89 hangers result from a scanning
process that manipulates everyday
objects to reveal organic sculpturalforms. The distorted digital
representations generated by thisscanner are used to create a mould
cavity out of sand, which molten brassis then poured into. The sand castingprocess in inaccurate by nature, further
intensifying the uniqueness of eachindividual piece.
