Interstellar Cloud-Inspired Lights

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Nebulae Collection Replicates Dynamic Sky Illuminators

— July 12, 2018 — Art & Design
Ross Gardam is an Australian furniture and lighting label and its latest Nebulae collection delivers a range of lights with a unique inspiration. The latest lighting series draws influence from nature's interstellar clouds -- specifically its dynamic layers of light effects. The range is comprised of a desk lamp, wall light, and a chandelier. Each illuminator falls within the balanced line of geometric machine-made structures using fluid glass discs. With each form, the layered glasses allow the lights to omit a diffusion that gives off a variety of textures. There is a range of ripples, bubbles, geometric patterns, and even incandescents.

Gardam explains that the Nebulae definitely ties together with the Polar and Ora phenomenon, but is different due to the unique light output quality. The fluted glass still exudes a captivating motion when the light is off because diffusion bounces off the environment and glass components around it.

3. Glass Manufacturing - The use of fluid glass discs and layered glass textures in the Nebulae collection opens up potential disruptive innovations in glass manufacturing, enabling the production of unique and visually stimulating glass products.
