Amplify at the museum
For our 4th collaboration with Swarovski debuting at Salone del Mobile, we wanted to try something different. While our previous large-scale lighting sculptures have showcased the crystal in a grand scale, with this project we wanted to bring the notion of accessibility and sustainability to crystal lighting. It is a pursuit in our work to try to achieve the maximum effect with the minimum amount of materials and energy: we want to create consciously and conscientiously and yet there is a need for beauty. The challenge is to re-think how to achieve the magical effect of many crystals on a chandelier: can we amplify a single crystal and create an entire chandelier?” Traditional chandeliers are made of numerous lights and crystals, we wanted to change this equation: 1 crystal + 1 low energy LED light + a faceted paper shade = AMPLIFY.
