Brocato

 

Product: Hurricane Lights

Client: Villeroy&Boch

Date:2007

 

Brocato is a range of votives, hurricanes and vases.

The design was inspired by old Venetian brocade fabrics with their soft and velvety touch.

This look and feel has been translated into glass by sandblasting handblown cased glass in a way that only the pattern is left.

The pattern fully comes to light, when a candle burns inside, contrasting the opaque forground with the softly translucent background, thus creating a magical glow.

This design was developed jointly with Andreas Rümmelein.
