FUSED GLASS
LIGHTING, RESEARCH, 2024
MAKE — EINDHOVEN, NL
The starting point for this project was a deep dive into the technique of glass fusing, and research into the iconic Tiffany Lamp.
Tiffany Lamps have been adopted as a symbol of the art deco movement, despite their success being the result of new industrialized technology. (Soldering the glass together) This contrast of technical and decorative was what I set out to emulate with this project.
Water jet cutting 3mm bullseye glass has only recently been possible with newer modern equipment. This allowed me to treat the glass how I treat folded metal.
Perforations, a motif used all over modernist design in sheet metal, was now possible to re-interpret in this delicate material.
Each lamp is water jet cut, fused in two layers of 3mm glass, then slumped over stainless steel molds and mounted onto anodized aluminum bodies with rubber go kart washers. By treating both glass and metal with similar techniques, I wanted to create a dialogue between each material, highlighting the technical properties of glass and delicate properties of folded sheet metal.
