The Development of Combining Materials to Create Effective Lighting
Collaborating with David Reede ( South Africa) and Pedro Veloso (France) as technical masters of liquid glass, AnZu enhances their talentswith his accomplishments of forged steel creating structures that hang and support the fragile translucence.
Inspired by Dale Chihuli ( Seatlle, USA) with his sizable glass installations, the origin of the Murano Biennale 1998 (Italy) was to use glassware from hot-shops around the world to promote and exploit the different types of glass in specific formative constellations.
Each manufacturer has a different product, quality, clarity and tooling so the challenge is to present each piece of glass in a way that compliments its existence.
Support metals vary between brass, stainless and mild steels with variations in electroplating. Sculpted to facilitate positions of hanging, standing and wall mounted illuminations.
