ABOUT

The Ripple Project studies the beauty and properties of glass. When a beam of light is projected through the gently rotating mouth-blown glass dome, shadow and light form a breathtaking, ever-changing pattern that creates an unforgettable oniric ambient.

This project joins traditional blown-glass techniques with high-end engineering. Thanks to the renown skills from Bohemian glass-blowers we are able to freeze the beauty of glass in time, while an elegant and highly precise rotation brings the material back to life.

After winning the First Prize from Design Report and the Third Prize from Salone Satellite in 2013, one of the most exclusive lighting companies, Lobmeyr, purchased the license to produce and distribute this product. They fell in love with the idea, but they wanted the device to have a more classic approach. I was in charge of adapting the first Ripple lamp prototype to an actual product that would fit in Lobmeyr´s art direction.
