GRID & BULLA LIGHTS
by STUDIO THIER & VAN DAALEN
GRID pedant light A series of glass blown pendant lights, with mesmerizing and bulbous shapes, in which the main role is played by the reflection created through the structured glass surface. The studio has intensively researched different effects in glass. The beam of light from the custom developed spotlight is projected almost invisibly on and through the structured glass, leaving a soft and almost hypnotizing effect on its surroundings like rippling water or cloudy skies. BULLA wall light A series of glass blown wall lamps that originated from the love for the 'bubble', the starting point in glassblowing. The glass is hand blown freely and not in a wooden mold, therefore each piece is unique. The studio developed a light element, which follows the inner shape like an infinite loop, casting beautiful color reflections on the environment. Craft and technology come together.
Ruben Thier & Iris van Daalen share their fascination for reflections, colors and the elasticity of materials. Over and over, they see it as a challenge to get hold of these matters and translate them into sustainable designs. They create designs for lighting, furniture, jewelry, accessories and unique objects, commissioned by brands and labels or on their own initiative. They combine their sense of aesthetics with various techniques such as digital modeling and fabrication and craftsmanship to make use of the full potential wherein innovation and elegance come together.
