How to unite the old technique of glass blowing with cutting edge LED technology ?

The transition in lighting design as well as my adoration for hand blown glass is a starting point for this project. “Luminaire” is a family of lamps, where milky glass creatures live with LED fixtures in a symbiosis.
The physicality of light and organic material becomes the most important part. The lamps provide a warm ambience and the light is soft and relaxing. A glowing sequence of dots, created by LED is transformed pleasantly by glass shell. I am inspired by the authenticity, deriving from natural materials. Therefore I assembled glass and leather. This unique combination complements the warmth, created by the light.
My approach to the project is inspired by craft. I use my hands to manipulate the materials. I play with the electrical parts the same way I do with glass. This “human made” aspect is crucial to the project.

The glass shapes are blown by Charlie Meaker with Justyna's assistance.

Glass and wooden cup made by Justyna Piotrowicz Poplawska

The project was made during a school collaboration with Danish sustainable and CSR brand Mater. We were inspired by the combination of two beautiful materials :glass and wood, making multifunctional yet very simple object.

You can use it as a cup for hot drinks where the wooden part serves as a protection or simply use two parts individually for drinks and snacks.

Tilted is a night lamp in which light appears in a mysterious way.

It is transmitted through a solid glass like in an optic fibre.

During the day it is an intriguing, sculptural object, in the night it glows, giving a pleasent, comforting light. The form invites you to manipulate and place it on a different angles.
