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.
I worked in this project during my time at London-based design studio Poetic LAB. In this project I assisted on:
- The 3D modeling of the final versions
- The design of the electric circuits
- Sourcing the mechanical parts and electric components
- Detail engineering of the assembled product
- Function analysis of the first units
