Ignite

Illumination distilled into form, fragility, and glow

Ignite is a sculptural light where fire takes shape. Brass lines ascend from the base like flowing flames, encircling glass spheres that hover as suspended orbs. At the tips, quiet bulbs glow as torches, holding fire not in heat, but in silence and radiance.

Presence

Ignite is a sculptural lighting piece that transforms the gesture of fire into form. From a grounded base, slender brass stems arc upward in fluid motion, holding glass spheres that appear to hover in suspension. The design captures a moment of movement frozen in space, a balance between gravity and lightness, solidity and delicacy.

Essence

The spheres invite multiple interpretations: as stars across a night sky, seeds waiting to awaken, or fragile memories preserved in clarity. Rising through them, the brass stems suggest streams of fire, not consuming but illuminating. At their tips, the bulbs glow softly, evoking flames that radiate presence rather than heat. In this interplay, Ignite reframes fire as a symbol of transformation and continuity rather than destruction.

Endurance

Gemaakt van messing en glas, beide duurzame en oneindig recyclebare materialen, benadrukt Ignite bestendigheid boven wegwerpbaarheid. Zijn sculpturale kwaliteit moedigt langdurig gebruik aan, ontworpen als een object om te worden gekoesterd in plaats van vervangen. Door tijdloze vorm te verenigen met duurzame materialiteit positioneert het stuk licht als zowel functioneel als poëtisch, een fakkel die reflectie door de tijd heen draagt.
