Alchemy

Alchemy is a design luminaire inspired by the mystique of the alchemical laboratories of Rudolf II, where light and matter were believed to transform into something precious. Its form recalls a glass flask or vial with liquid captured in motion – like a substance in a test tube just before transformation. Here, transparent glass replaces the liquid: it flows, bends the beam of light and turns it into a soft, layered glow with shifting depth. Thanks to its form, Alchemy works not only as a striking standalone piece but also as an ideal element for larger compositions, where it can create impressive light installations reminiscent of a constellation of alchemical vessels filled with light. Each piece is a handmade original; subtle variations in the glass give rise to a unique optical character of light every time. The glass body also acts as a lens, shaping the beam and symbolically linking the worlds of alchemy and astronomy – two historical disciplines united by their fascination with light and its mysteries.
