A Ribbon of Crystal
World-renowned lighting designer and glass artist Jaroslav Bejvl has created the ‘Crystal Ribbon’ chandelier, a dynamic design based on organic curves. Made from Czech crystal glass, the design’s use of 3D technology ensures the silhouette looks different from every angle; the unique brilliance of Bohemian glass means it constantly changes in front of one’s eyes. It is on display in Gladee Lighting’s new larger showroom on the third floor of the North Dome. From modern masterpieces to crystal show-stoppers, the carefully chosen statement lighting is dramatic but organic, and crafted to the highest level.
At London Design Week 2019, Gladee Lighting also participated in the ‘Legends’ showroom initiative, selecting a Norman Parkinson image of American fashion model Nena von Schlebrügge at the Brussels World’s Fair for Vogue in 1958. Von Schlebrügge’s hourglass silhouette, and the twisting sculpture in the background, make a fine visual match for the chandelier.
