Info
For centuries, constellations have guided us through the night. The Gemini brings that experience home, casting a warm, celestial glow. The pair of ambient lamps created for your home’s own path, inspired by the Gemini constellation.
Too much glass, not enough purpose
Glass manufacturing often results in excess — offcuts, overruns, and remnants that rarely get reused. In an industry driven by precision and perfection, what happens to what’s left behind?
What does it mean to re-purpose ?
Thoughts with Victor Olivier Sararu
Artist and founder of Galeria Ancora
Being an artist is breathing life in still water -- seeing potential in every leftover piece, like a puzzle coming together
Product that showcases the unique qualities of the leftover glass
goal
UNFOLD PROCESS
Breathing Light
I wanted for the glass to shine, allowing one to transform their space into a starry night.
Developing Concepts
This led to a pair of lamp concept, inspired by the Gemini constellation. Multiple iterations were made.
Prototyping to Scale
Since this was a heavy hands-on project, having a real size prototype meant I could check the glass pieces against it.
Action Plan
Built for the materials and disassembly consideration of the user to change light bulbs.
Fabrication
Drawing measurements were made for each brass plate before cutting to shape. While gathering all the necessary components.
Repurposed leftover glass from the shop, warm pastel for the top piece, and diffusing white glass for the bottom piece. Stained and waxed the brass, before putting everything together.
