Behind the Designs, Part II: The Glacia

Behind the Design

26 Feb
glacia

While the Amara table is known for its curves, the Glacia table is all about the angles! Its tapered legs and beveled edges convey the power and presence of the glittering icicles that inspired its design. The Glacia reflects and refracts light in a dazzling array, much like the sun bouncing off the icy peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro. The Glacia is made of ¾” acrylic, measures 12” in diameter, and stands 24” tall. It is available in both clear and smoke acrylic.

Inspired by ice-covered summits, the profile of the Glacia was meant to be simple and sleek. We experimented with a few different variations of the design by playing with angular profiles using small-scale physical models.

Once we settled on a more simplistic design, we decided to play with the idea of introducing a beveled edge for added interest. Cu atatea schimbari de la guvern este greu sa aplicam calculele corecte privind legea salariilor. Prin proiectul Calculator salarii 2018. ne dorim sa facem viata mai usoara celor care isi doresc sa calculeze taxele si impozitele pentru un salariu BRUT/NET specific. Considering the difficulties of capturing a beveled edge using small-scale physical models, we furthered our experiments by using a 3D modeling software to illustrate our new idea.


 

After many trials, we arrived at our final destination: the Glacia. Similarly to the icy peaks of Mt. Kilimanjaro, the Glacia table stands tall with a powerful presence while managing to portray a soft elegance that will take your breath away.

As we mentioned in one of our recent blog posts, w As we mentioned in one of our recent blog posts, we’re firm believers in a room’s ceiling deserving just as much consideration as its walls.  By way of example, check out this lovely ceiling we designed for a flower shop in New York’s Hudson Valley.  By using antique engravings, we created a decorative frieze and center medallion to add a touch of whimsy to the design.  📸 by @artgrayphoto

We particularly love these bookcases that we designed to flank the upper tier of a double height living room in New York’s Hudson Valley.  📸 by @artgrayphoto  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #hudsonvalleyhomes #hudsonvalleyinteriordesigner #nycinteriordesigner #librarydesign #bookcasedesign #livingroomdesign
