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.

For the esteemed @pasadenashowcasehouse, we designed this room over 20 years ago, and it still looks fresh and inviting.  While decidely traditional, its clean lines, restrained palette and blending of old and new make it equally suited for today.  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #showhousedesign #pasadenadesign

The unexpected can often make for great design. I The unexpected can often make for great design.  In a room we designed for @kbshowhouse many years ago, we designed an India-inspired studio with a bed niche clad in a shimmering material.  Would you have guessed that it’s a collection of tin can lids?  The artwork of artist Clare Graham, they certainly introduced something unexpected and wonderfully so.  📸 by @bjornwallander  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #kipsbayshowhouse #showhousedesign #nycinteriordesign
Kitchens are laboratories of creativity, and creat Kitchens are laboratories of creativity, and creativity needs inspiration.  For this kitchen we designed in New York’s Hudson Valley, we designed a space that could find inspiration in the great outdoors.  With natural materials, an airy volume, and lots of views toward the greenery, the ideas keep percolating.  📸 by @artgrayphoto  #whitewebbinteriors #interiordesign #hudsonvalleyinteriors #kitchendesign #nycinteriordesigner
