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.

The Ballet Russes, founded by Serge Diaghilev, cam The Ballet Russes, founded by Serge Diaghilev, came to Paris in 1909 to present ground-breaking ballet productions featuring the great artists of the age, including (among others) Nijinsky, Stravinsky, Matisse and our subject here: Leon Bakst. The Paris season was a sensation. In 1921 Diaghilev broke new ground with a new production of The Sleeping Princess in London, based on Tchaikovsky’s full length Sleeping Beauty ballet that premiered in St Petersburg in 1890. Diaghilev’s production was lavish, with over 300 costumes and elaborate sets, all by Bakst. The exorbitant cost was never recouped, almost shuttering the company. As a young ballet dancer Matthew was obsessed by Diaghilev and Bakst. Here’s a peek into that golden moment in art, design and dance history.  #ballet #sleepingbeauty #balletrusses
