Immerse yourself in our world of light, reflection and shadow. Through the art of glass fusing, A+N Studio created glass wall objects that add an experience to the space through interactive ‘light machines’. Come play around and experience the effects of dynamic light through glass.
Transparency & Fluidity
Our Transparency & Fluidity collection draws inspiration from the mesmerizing way sunlight interacts with liquid surfaces—shimmering reflections, ever-shifting patterns, and quiet movement. These visual experiences evoke a sense of calm, inviting the viewer into a state of gentle attention.
This effect relates to what psychologists Rachel and Stephen Kaplan describe as "soft fascination" in their Attention Restoration Theory (ART, 1995)—a concept often associated with natural environments. Soft fascination captures our attention effortlessly, without overwhelming us, allowing our mental energy to replenish. It helps improve focus, restore clarity, and support cognitive balance.
Much like watching ripples on water or light filtering through trees, the designs in this collection are meant to be experienced slowly. They offer a quiet space for reflection—both visual and mental—where attention flows gently, and discovery happens without pressure.
