EWE created a custom lighting fixture for a client where the inspiration was born from a natural phenomena, a system of clouds where the stars are born, called Nébula.Nébula Lighting Sculpture
All started with a deep research of organic forms, processes and materials that would simulate an abstract cloud form implemented in a luminous piece and after an exhaustive exploration of geometries we arrived at the process of acrylic bending. Since the beginning of the design development we wanted to control a process of containment, meaning to design a structure of some kind that would contain the main material that would form the lamp, glass.

That's how the process started, by creating a set of organic silhouettes of different shapes and formats in acrylic, followed by duplicating these forms into stainless steel that condition the shape and limits the glass that is blown inside them. Then both the metal structure and the glass are placed in a tempering oven where both resist the drop in temperature as if they were a single piece.
These glass clouds hold inside each one of them a smart LED technology that allows to control dim and synchronize the light effect inside, creating a light system that expresses as a single mass, a big cloud that gives birth to stars, a Nebula.
